By; Edo State Social Media Force
Ahead of the Forthcoming National and State Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Leaders across the State are warming up for the restructuring of the party wards, local governments and state executive members in a bid to reposition the party ahead of 2027.
In Edo state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP), after wider consultations across the state, the leading and frontline social media influencers body of the party in the entire state, “Edo State Social Media Force” has joined forces with the leadership of the party to reposition the party and zone the chairmanship position to Edo South. Any external forces that try or attempt to sabotage the process of this great vision of the party would definitely meet Waterloo.
"We need a state Chairman who is people oriented and have the interest of the party at heart, a Chairman that will pilot the affairs of the party without sentiment, bias, fear or favour. a Chairman that has been financially supportive to the party, a Chairman must be a committed PDP member with proven record, who is not self centered and disrespectful, a futuristic Chairman who will not only plan for today but also for the party future. A Chairman who can look inward and settle issues, An exemplary leader that with a large heart to accommodate divergent opinions, a Leader of all Leaders!
We need an insightful Chairman who can read the future and provide a rational decision for the good and advancement of the party. We are where we are today because of lack of proper planning and permutations. today we have landed as opposition with members and Leaders leaving the party in droves.
Since the inception of democracy in 1999, No Edo South person has assumed the position of the state chairman of the party, PDP. It is pertinent to note that zoning the chairmanship to Edo South at this crucial time is very pertinent. While High Chief Tom Ikhimi was a member of PDP board of trustee, the chairmanship seat was occupied by Edo Central.
It is important to know as well that Chief Lucky Igbinedion as a member of the board of trustees from Edo South, its only reasonable for someone capable from the South to occupy the seat. Edo north and Central have serve out their tenure respectively.
We the members of Edo state social media force strongly stand with the decision of the majority of the party leaders to reposition the party rightfully and progressively. We don't want any external crisis to erupt because Our leaders have spoken.
The leaders should resolve and choose one person from Edo South whom they know can rule with the people at heart, who is not selfish and must be a grassroot politician. Not a person who solely depends on the people to run the party affairs and enrich himself.
2027 is not far from reach anymore. It is not time for personal/Selfish aggrandizement but for the good and progress of the party. While High Chief Tom Ikhimi was a member of the BOT, an Edo Central person was the chairman. So having Chief Lucky Igbinedion as BOT member should not be a yardstick to deny Edo South of the chairmanship Position.
As we the Edo State Social Media Force aligned with the progressive decisions of the majority of the leaders across the state, we urged the leadership to unanimously look into the requirements of qualification asserted above to occupy such a chairmanship position for the demonstration of hope, readiness and rescue spirit to Edo people and Nigerians in general.
We come in peace while continue to influence the good people of Edo state positively on social media.
