Group known as Edo State Focus Group (ESFG) has called on people of the state both at home and abroad to unite and rescue the state from some persons it regarded as “disgruntled and unscrupulous politicians ravaging destiny of the state,” particularly as it concerns the forthcoming governorship election.
Hope Hoppy Ebbih, National Co-ordinator of the group in a speech delivered over the weekend in Benin noted that from 1999 when democracy started, and from PDP to APC, all those who ruled the state did that for their selfish interest and not interest of the electorates.
” Since the enthronement of democratic rule 1999, the likes of Mr. Luck Igbinedion (PDP); Professor Oseremhen Osunbor (PDP); Comrade Adams Oshiomhole (APC); and Mr. Godwin Obaseki (APC), had ruled the state for their selfish interest. They had amassed wealth to the detriment of the citizens of Edo State”, he added.
