In a recent statement released by the Edo State Government, the administration shed light on the disconnection between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the transformative initiatives spearheaded by Governor Godwin Obaseki. Hon. Chris Nehikhare, the Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, emphasized that the APC's failure to grasp the long-term impact of these initiatives stems from their entrenched penchant for subversive politics, prioritizing personal gain over public welfare.
Nehikhare underscored the irony of the APC's criticism of projects such as the new Labour House and the Temboga road, attributing it to their narrow political agenda. He lamented that the APC's modus operandi revolves around short-sightedness, unable to appreciate initiatives aimed at benefiting the entire populace rather than a select few.
Responding to allegations that Obaseki's projects lack foresight, Nehikhare debunked such claims, citing the governor's commitment to transformative endeavors geared towards future generations. He highlighted Obaseki's multifaceted approach, including investments in education, agriculture, and industrialization, aimed at positioning Edo State for sustained growth.
Central to Obaseki's vision is the forthcoming 30-year development plan, a blueprint for long-term prosperity. Nehikhare juxtaposed this strategic foresight with the APC's track record of economic mismanagement at the national level, underscoring their inability to plan beyond short-term gains.
In closing, Nehikhare urged the APC to engage in constructive criticism rather than resorting to baseless attacks. He called upon the opposition party to present their candidate for the 2024 gubernatorial election based on merit, eschewing divisive tactics in favor of genuine policy discourse.
