A socio cultural group, N’Edo gheria has admonished the Edo state governor, comrade Adams Oshiomhole to keep faith with his electoral promise of One man one vote
The group said it has become imperative because of the prevailing notion within the polity that the governor has endorsed a particular candidate ahead of others which has pitched him as godfather
In a statement signed by the coordinator, Agene Patrick added that though the governor has the right to support any person, he should however be mindful that his open support can be taking for bias
The statement read in part: “It has come to our notice the talk in town about the comrades open endorsement of an aspirant ahead of the governorship election in Edo state is counter productive
“We believe that his open display for supporting and even campaigning for the said aspirant has created the feeling and message to those who are serving in various capacity as government appointees that they should queue into his agenda thereby causing psychological and mental instability to other aspirants
“Just as we believe that the governor has the right to do so by endorsing an aspirant, it should however be reminded that its implication for the now is that he should see himself as a judge whose role should not be biased.
“The governor should not make himself the godfather in any form, he should be seen as objective, father to all, fair in dealing with every aspirants rather than carrying on in a manner that he is doing now.
“When We think that this position will not be in the good interest of other aspirants and their supporters. ”
