Edo: SDP Aspirant Promises To Replicate Legacies Of Ogbemudia, Alli
A Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship aspirant in the Edo 2024 election, Mr Osarenren Izedonmwen, has promised to replicate legacies left by Brig-Gen. Samuel Ogbemudia and Prof. Ambrose Alli if elected.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ogbemudia and Alli were former Military and Executive Governors of the defunct Bendel State (now Edo and Delta states).
Izedonmwen made the promise in Benin during his official declaration to contest the forthcoming governorship election on the platform of the SDP.
He said that SDP was repositioned to continue from the era of Ogbemudia and Alli, both late, in enthroning good governance and leadership.
āWhile our movement may not boast of the vast resources of larger parties, our determination to serve Edo state stands unwavering.
āWe understand that power ultimately resides in two poles, those with the money and those with the people.
āWe call upon every Edolite not to fall for the moneybags, but rather to stand with us as we stand with the people, for history has shown time and again that the true power always lies with the people,ā he said.
āIn our recent republican history, this state has produced great leaders too. We therefore stand on the shoulders of giants like Chief Anthony Enahoro, General Samuel Ogbemudia, and Professor Ambrose Alli.
āOur heroes who each rose to the call of their own generations and delivered remarkably.
āTheir remarkable achievements echo through time from General Ogbemudiaās industrialization and infrastructural brilliance to Professor Alliās visionary leadership that blessed us with universal education.
āAnd Chief Enahoroās strategic wisdom that steered Nigeria towards independence,ā Izedonmwen said.
According to him, āMy vision is to rapidly industrialize our state, transforming it into Nigeriaās entrepreneurial hub where value is added to our God-given resources. (NAN)
