By The9JaTREND

The leadership of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in Edo State has boasted that the party will take over Edo government at Osadebey Avenue. GRA., Benin City come 2024 governorship election in the state and urged Mr. Godwin Obaseki to wake up to his responsibilities by providing the dividends of democracy he promised the people of Edo State during his campaign period that earned him victory in the governorship election in the state.

According to a 10-point communique issued and signed by PRP Chairman in Edo State, Mr. Greg Igbinomwanhia and Jeffrey Imonmion, Secretary made available to newsmen stated, "Edo state people should do away with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because they have failed in all ramifications for their inabilityies to bring dividends of democracy to the doorsteps of its citizenry in the state.

"PRP has come to stay in Edo State and we will offer better alternative leadership regarding good governance to the good people of Edo State, we are sincerely committed to improving the lives of the people if given the opportunity.”

"We however advise him not to allow the influence of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) politicians around him to overwhelm him but be determined to deliver the actual gains of democracy to the people. 

"We are aware that the lure of office and the attraction of partisan interest may sway the governor to be tempted to act like a typical Nigeria politician, we urge him to resist this and be focused so that the ‘talakawas’ will not continue to suffer at the end".

Mr. Igbinomwanhia, while speaking on the state of the health sector, said the governor should declare a state of emergency in it and that it is not enough to erect a high standard modern hospital where only the rich can afford but should also consider the poor masses and   make healthcare services accessible to them.

"We can recall that when the governor came on board he promised to use all primary health centers as pilot program and that the governor should not forget this especially as we have not seen much progress in this direction.

"The governor should make sure that every citizen in Edo state has access to quality and affordable health care in the state which for now seems to be scarce.

"We want to particularly draw the governor’s attention to the pathetic condition at the specialist hospital in Benin. 

"The specialist hospital has one stretcher, the roof is leaking, no mattress, there is poor sanitation around the environment, there is high cost of drugs, there is poor attitude to work by of nurses and doctors, in fact the situation is quite terrible. 

"People who go there mildly ill leave there seriously sick", he alleged.

He urged members of the state exco of the party to engage on aggressive membership drive across the 18 local government areas of the state just as he encouraged all Edo people to embrace the party and do away with APC and PDP, saying that they have caused untold hardship in the lives of Nigerians.
