…says will restore Nigeria’s lost glory
A Chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Barrister Mathew Edaghese, has said that Obi and Kwankwaso movement popularly called OK is very determined to chase out the Bola Tinubu-led APC government from Aso Rock come 2027.
The human rights activist, who is also an aspirant for Esan South-East and Esan North-East Federal Constituency in the forth-coming National Assembly elections, stated this while addressing a cross section of NDC supporters in Ubiaja in Edo central.
He highlighted his mission and vision for Esan South-East and Esan North-East Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives if given the mandate to serve them.
On what informed his decision to contest for the Federal House of Representatives under the NDC in Esan South-East and Esan North-East respectively he said: “What informed my decision is self-conviction and popular demand by the majority of the people who are clamouring for a different direction in terms of leadership.
“Representation has become a stigma over time, and their desire is to have effective representation in Abuja. “For your information I have collected the expression of interest form and also been cleared. So the business has started.
“This can only be achieved when they deal with somebody with reputable character, somebody who has the pedigree, competence and capacity.
“Without sounding modest I possess those qualities. “The records are there; I’m not a sycophant, I have never indulged in sycophancy in my life.”
On why vying under the platform of NDC, he said: “NDC has been existing; the newness in NDC is the coming of Obedient Movement and Obi-Kwankwaso ticket is already assured. “The OK movement is a group to belong to; NDC will shock Nigerians; it is a moving train that nobody can stop.
“I want to use this veritable platform to represent the good people of Esan South-East and Esan North-East Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives in Abuja.
“I didn’t just wake up one morning and say I went to contest for the federal House of Representatives, it is the pressure from people. “They need quality representatives; the people there have failed us.
“They need a voice, they need good leadership, and they need the dividend of democracy and the security and good life.
“Esan South-East and Esan North-East Federal Constituency must take their destinies in their hands; this is not the time to trade with their future and that of their children. “As it stands now, NDC is the party to beat, by the grace of God, we will get there”.
