Sunday Ogbomo, who led the protest at the palace, asserted that \u201cthe people of Edo South senatorial district have rejected Odubu as running mate to our action Governor. Throughout his eight years as member of the Federal House of Representatives, he never employed anybody even though he had the slot to employ four persons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe never executed any constituency project. And when the leaders of the ACN picked him as running mate to Oshiomhole in 2007, we allowed that because we thought may be he will change. What he did was a borehole in his own father\u2019s house in the village and nothing else. We recalled that our father the Oba of Benin sent some chiefs to plead with him to allow Etiosa Ogbewe go back to the House of Assembly for a second term but Odubu did not let him go.Even though he won the primaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe head of Odubu\u2019s community is the Okaevbo, the Okaevbo even pleaded on behalf of Etiosa but Odubu refused. Even the road project in Orhionmwon the project has been abandoned yet we have him as Deputy Governor. Apart from that, it is an open secret that each time the Comrade Governor travels, he cannot not even act on behalf of the governor. So we need a Deputy Governor that is vibrant and one that can help the Comrade Governor move the state forward\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comments are moderated.
