Comrade Samson Momorin, the Coordinator of Masses Eye, a socio-political group, has warned that the recent game of roulette been played by some political moneybags to get the governorship ticket of political parties for the 2024 Edo State Governorship poll through cash and carry method will spell doom for the state and indeed the country when the chips are down.
He gave the warning while making a general review of the run up to the parties governorship primaries coming up early next year.
According to Comrade Momorin, “the resort to money politics whereby some political moneybags resort to funding the activities of the political parties with a mindset to get the governorship ticket of such parties for the Edo State governorship poll in 2024 can only lead to doom.
“Such a person will become a dictator whom no party leader can give good advice on the way forward once he gets into the Osadebey Avenue Benin, where the state seat of power is located.
“What we need in Edo State at the moment are those whose past deeds announce them wherever they’re. In such categories of individuals is Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi who for so many years served the nation well in the oil sector and also was a beacon of hope to many people to whom he came into contact with in the course of carrying out his national assignment.”
Comrade Momorin averred that such individuals should be given a mark of honour and recognition for their knack for the truth and hard work and as such should be given the opportunity of first refusal in the course of picking credible individuals to fly party banner at the polls.
