Osunde who is also the Chairman of Oredo Local Government Council told journalists that “it is the obvious consensus of the chairmen of all the 18 Local Governments in Edo State that the current atmosphere of peace in their various constituencies be maintained throughout the 2020 electioneering season. The premier focus of the entire local government leadership in Edo State is peace and development along with the urgency of combating the deadly Coronavirus’’.
Osunde reiterated the collective resolution of Edo State ALGON rejecting the Direct Primary mode of nomination for the APC governorship candidate. The ALGON leader contended that the National Working Committee of APC should have more seriously considered the precarious implication of huge gathering of party members in a way that could gravely spike the infection rate of the pandemic.
He concluded that the conduct of the NWC is generating unwholesome tension in the state with ‘’ deleterious consequence for the national image of the APC’’. ‘’He expressed the hope that the people of ‘’ Edo State will be allowed to freely and peacefully express they are well- established preference for progressive continuity under Governor Obaseki’’.All rights reserved.
