(PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Tony Anenih,
has called on the people of his Edo Central
senatorial district (Esan) to vote for the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in
the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
The national leader of the PDP vowed that Esan
people would resist their continued domination by
Governor Adams Oshiomhole in the September 10
governorship election in the state.
Anenih, who spoke at the kick-off of Edo Central
zonal gubernatorial campaign, held at Okpujie
Primary School, Uromi, Esan North East Local
Government Area, recalled how Governor
Oshiomhole at the start of his administration more
than seven years ago refused to pay the counterpart
funding of N300 million needed to complete the
Ugbalo Waterworks after he had made the Federal
Government commit the sum of N1.2 billion to the
project.
He said “Oshiomhole, up till today, has refused to
provide the money. That is why the water scheme
has not been completed. He does not want us
(Esans) to have water. Esan race is being
extinguished by Oshiomhole but we will not allow it;
we will resist it.”
He said his presence at the PDP zonal campaign
was an indication of the path Esan people were
prepared to follow in the September 10 election.
