“Edo people should resist the attempts of the political leadership without sense of morality trying to introduce darkness into the path of the development of Edo State. We are a good people. We want progress and reject retrogression”,he said.

The former Chief of Staff who opined that it can no longer be business as usual in political governance of the state, noted that the party was committed to good politics, good leadership and collective struggle to halt desperate people who have nothing to offer than their personal aggrandisement.
