The Edo State Coordinator the Obaseki/Shuaibu Movement, Hon. Prince Miracle Ogbebor, has called on members of the movement in all the local government area of the state, to disregard his purported suspension, describing it as a ruse and the handiwork of some disgruntled elements within the body.
He made this known when he spoke with some Pressmen in Benin City, the state capital recently.
His word, “I find the whole rumor laughable, because I expected those behind this charade to have been schooled in what is called due process.
It is a shame that though they claimed to be people who are highly placed in the society, yet their actions and inaction as regards this issues, has shown clearly that it is the handiwork of a people who are hallucinating.”
Maintaining that he remains the State Coordinator until he is duly removed, he wondered where some misguided elements; sit in the confines of their bedroom to come out with such ludicrous decision.
Continuing, he said even if all they alleged is true, he is of the opinion that in the principle of fair hearing, they would have mustered enough courage to invite his person to appear before the said stakeholders and given a fair hearing.
Then they would have been justified in whatever actions they took thereafter, insisting that until that is done, he remains the State Coordinator.
On the issue of the founder of the body, he said he is not reneging on his claims, challenging those who think otherwise, to come out with their version. “If you are invited after an idea has been conceptualised and you merely gave flesh to the idea, does that make you the originator?” He asked
Speaking further, he said, he still have the lists of those whom he contacted at inception, and stressed that it is regrettable that it is not those personalities that are sowing seeds of discord, but those who were later invited when the body had been given muscle and life.
“I have the support of members across party lines in all the 192 wards of the LGA who are solidly behind me and who have expressed disgust at the high wired betrayer of friends who want to reap where they never sowed.”
Stressing that Obaseki remains the candidate to beat in the forthcoming election, he called on party faithful to support the Obaseki/Shaibu 2020 Movement for a second term.
