2015 a year of change ----Oshiomhole
(Nigeria) Governor
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State on Wednesday, said that the New Year 2015 will an important one for Nigerians
to vote for change and get the country back to the path of greatness, rather
than the present system at the federal level where nothing works.
According
to him, “next year presents Nigerians with a unique opportunity to vote out the
party which produced bad leaders who buffeted us with different excuses and fed
us with empty rhetoric on why Nigeria is yet to achieve her greatness, after
being in the saddle for 16 years.
“In 2015,
Nigerians must rise in unison to elect credible leaders who will rise above the
lethargy of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP government to confront the challenges facing the nation.
“It is
ironic and saddening that while they preach to the downtrodden masses to
tighten their belts and prepare for austere times, they continue to display
nauseating indifference to the plight of the people by coming up with a war
chest running into several billions of naira to prosecute a project to further
impoverish the people.
“However,
as progressives, we remain optimistic in the Nigerian project and we urge the
people to join us and avail themselves of the opportunity, next year, to punish
these bad leaders with our votes and ensure that the desired change is achieved
for the benefit of all.
“We
must resist their plots to use ethnicity, religion and other clannish tendencies
to divide us. We must never forget that poverty and bad governance are not
defined by religion or ethnicity but by inefficient leadership. This is why the
time for change is now, more than ever before.
“In
Edo, we promise to redouble our efforts in the New Year, in spite of the lean
resources accruing to the state, to complete many of the ongoing projects and
initiate new ones for the benefit of our people. As we have always promised, our
dear state will be the cynosure of all eyes in the country as we will leave the
state far better that we met it in terms of human and infrastructural
development.
“While
wishing our people a blissful and bountiful New Year, we urge them to continue
to support the state government in its drive and determination to move the
state to the next level.”
