Oshiomhole gave the assurance during his campaign tour of Okada, Ovia North North East Local Government Area, and in Ovia South West and Orhionmwon local government areas as part of the ongoing ACN campaigns for the forthcoming April 20th Local Government elections.
According to him, “at the local level we want to form a government that is committed to the welfare of the people. By now there are two forces in Edo State. The forces of darkness that under developed the State, stole all the money, visit our people with misery and excuses, while they are getting rich, the people are getting poorer”.
“Those forces that would award a road contract and they would not do it. Those forces who could not build one good school; those are the forces of darkness, the forces of light you can see it right here”.
On April 20th ask yourself should I vote against a government that is building red roofs. Do you want to vote for a government that is doing nothing? The joy of public office is the feeling that the people accept you. And the people accept you for one reason; if you connect with them, by addressing those things that affect them”
“Let me sound a note of warning. I understand that some people are still carrying rumour that the land that has not been revoked that they still own it. There is only one government in Edo State and there is only one governor”.
“I understand that some of our farmers are being threatened by people government gave land to farm. Now they are not farming on the land. They are giving the land to people and making them to pay rent. Don’t pay royalties to anybody any more. Edo is a free society”.
“Let me assure you that on Monday, all those land you are farming on which government gave to individuals who now in turn sublet it to you. I am the Governor of Edo State say I will revoke those lands on Monday. I will revoke it in the public interest” the governor said.
