The Convener of the Socio-Cultural non-Political Group, Akugbe for Good Leadership Unity Forum, Comrade Irabor Shaba Jnr, aka Shaba Mien-Mien, has called on the electorates in Edo Central Senatorial District (Esanland) not to vote based on whatever sentiment, rather, they should cast their votes based on the background and antecedents of the candidates that intends to represent Esanland in the different elective positions.
Speaking recently in a phone interview, Comrade Shaba who lamented that Esanland has for so long been drawn backwards in terms of developments, as a result of Esan people voting for those with obscure backgrounds, shady and questionable source of wealth, warned electorates in Esanland that in the forthcoming elections, some candidates that seemingly appear as gentle and kind, are actually worse than some of those that have been occupying elective positions in Esanland.
Comrade Irabor, who said, those that should be voted for, to represent Esanland, should be people that are eligible in terms of character and content, as political representatives should be vocal, active and vibrant individuals, not docile people. he said; “…some politicians spend money to convince the electorates that they mean well, but once they are voted into office, you will never see them again, and if you attempt to visit them in their homes, you will find Lions in their gates…” continuing, Comrade Shaba said; “…we know the history of all the candidates and at the right time, we will expose them one after the other…”
Finally, Comrade Irabor made it clear that he is not campaigning for any candidate, as he does not belong to any political party, but maintained that he is only speaking the naked truth in the interest of Esanland.
