*** Vote capacity, Vote competence, not deep pockets, Hon Andrew urges Etsako people

It has been said in many quarters that a vote for APC in the forthcoming General election will not only be disastrous for the Nigeria people but also will be creating and sending a very wrong impression that Nigerians accept the current hardship, hunger, poverty, banditry, killings and kidnapping that has become a way of life in Nigeria under the Buhari – led APC Federal Govt. No sane Nigerian Voter will want to use his/her PVC to endorse and extend the strange hardship that the failed and clueless APC has imported to Nigeria. We must unite and reject APC and her offsprings of pain, hardship, hardship, poverty, banditry and kidnapping that has become a lucrative industry in this APC Govt.

It is against this background that Edo people especially the Afenmai extraction have continued to dump the failed and sinking APC and defect to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on daily basis.

As the PDP Ward – to – Ward and Village – to – Village Campaign Moving – and – Winning Train led by the Distinguished Senator Francis Alimikhena and Hon Andrew Momodu respectively arrived Avhianwu Clan in Etsako Central LGA yesterday, it was very clear that the spate of defection of APC members to PDP that has started in the past few months has just began as like the Biblical fishermen that abandoned their nets on the sea and joined Jesus for the salvation of mankind, APC members continued to abandoned their party for PDP in the ongoing campaign.

The Alimikhena, Hon Andrew Momodu and Hon Damian train first arrived at the Royal Palace of the Ogieavhianwu of Avhianwu for prayers and royal blessings. The warmth reception was first of its kind as the Royal Highness personally prayed for the victory of Sen Alimikhena, Hon Andrew Momodu and Hon Damian Lawani for Edo north Senate, House of Representatives and House of Assembly elections respectively. The royal blessings and endorsement for Alimikhena, Hon Andrew Momodu and Hon Damian was not a surprise as the immediate community, Iraokhor have continued to praised the Distinguished Senator for always coming to their rescue in the area of health, electricity, and education. After that, the PDP winning Train went straight to the campaign ground where party supporters, community leaders and large numbers of APC decampees were waiting. The joy at the campaign venue was further rekindled when one party enthusiast, Mr. Godfrey Emokhare announced that the Senator paid the community visit in the morning his wife just delivered of a baby boy in the community maternity renovated and equipped by the Distinguished Senator after it was abandoned for many years, no help from anywhere and their wives have to go far neighbouring community for delivery. He therefore named the baby Senator. The highly elated Senator gave the man N50,000 for baby food.

At ward 4 Ogbona, the headquarters of PDP in Etsako and home of Chief Dan Orbih, the remnants of APC members in the community dropped and burnt their brooms, the symbol of the party as they abandoned the rickety and sinking APC ship and joined the moving and winning party, PDP.

Then the train arrived ward 2 in Fugar, headquarters of Etsako Central politics and home of Chief Dr Mike Oghiadomhe where hundreds of APC members, respected village chiefs, community and opinion leaders joined the party in support of their National leader and former chief of Staff to former President GEJ. The crowd was unprecedented and massive that people said they are not surprise, that it is the ward of Chief Oghiadomhe.

The same support and harvest of decampees continue in ward 3 and ward 1 in Fugar. In all the campaign venues, the need to Rescue Nigeria from the jaws of the APC was loud and clear. Nigerians will not continue to endure the pain, hardship, hunger, and insecurity in the land this Govt has subjected all Nigerians to in the past 7yrs plus. The Senator reminded our people to stop listening to those who are out to keep deceiving them and go ahead to vote all PDP candidates that Edo cannot afford to be in opposition at the State and Federal. Hon Andrew Momodu urged our people to vote for capacity and competence and not deep pockets. He assured our people of providing quality representation for them at the NASS, prioritized education, employment for our teeming youth, agricultural development, affordable and accessibel health service
