 NIGERIA’S INDEPENDENCE AT 60

Oredo People Have Reasons for Double Celebration 

‘’ As we celebrate Nigeria’s Independence Day, We equally celebrate the political liberation of Edo State from the claws of dictatorial powers outside our Government.’’

‘’ As Governor Obaseki strengthens the economic and political South-South family , our nation will equally flourish ‘’

The Executive Chairman of Oredo Local Government Council, Hon. Evbareke Jenkins Osunde has observed that Nigeria will benefit from the’’ potentials of a flourishing South-South economy ‘’that will evolve from Governor Obaseki’s unique role in the geo-political region.’’

Hon. Osunde’s view was contained in a media statement released in Benin today to mark Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary.

The Chairman further remarked that the people of Oredo have justifiable reasons for double celebration following ‘’ their unequalled contribution to ensuring the second term victory of Governor Obaseki and thereby catalyzing the liberation of our governmental system from some dictatorial personalities.’’  Continuing, Hon. Osunde stated  that’’ the kind of nobility of thought  and enviable sacrifice  which Oredo people displayed during the 2020 Edo State Governorship election was worthy of emulation by the rest of the nation .’’ 

Hon. Osunde concluded his message with the hopeful prayers that ‘’Nigeria’s journey into enhanced  adulthood will equally manifest signs of greater economic and political dividends  for the citizenry in the years ahead.’’

The panel had adjourned till Thursday for Shaibu to open his defence, and when he didn’t show up, he was given till Friday to come and defend the allegation against him, which he failed to do. The Edo State House of Assembly, which is the petitioner in the case, had on Wednesday opened and closed its case, paving the way for Shaibu to defend the allegations levelled against him.
