No Apologies For Voting PDP –Ibaji Leader
The Special Adviser (Political) to former governor Ibrahim Idris of Kogi State Mr. Fidel Egwuche has said that the people of Ibaji Local Government Area of the state will vote the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over and over again because the party had shown care for them. Egwuche who was speaking on “Why did Ibaji go the way they went” in an interview with THE UNION on Wednesday in Lokoja said Ibaji had no choice than to vote PDP in the just concluded Presidential/National Assembly and Governorship/ State Assembly elections.
He said that a former governor of the state had told the people that he did not give them an ambulance because they had no roads for the ambulance to ply. He said that the PDP under governor Ibrahim Idris constructed a 30-kilometer road from Idah into Ibaji and built three cottage hospitals with resident doctors aside other school projects. Governor Idris Wada, also of the PDP Connected Onyedega, headquarters of Ibaji Local Government to the national grid and the area now had electricity, he added.
Egwuche, a former Niger State correspondent of NAN and former Permanent Secretary, Land and Survey as well as the first Sole Administrator of Ibaji LG said “We voted PDP because PDP recognized our people.” He said that the greatest problem of Ibaji people was roads saying that the people were blessed with natural resources and did not lack food but lacked basic social amenities and access roads to bring out their farm produce.
Talking about the political change sweeping through the country, Egwuche said: “The change you look for is the change that will better your life. We don’t change for changing sake. Change is not sacrosanct. “Any government that gives us road, we will vote for that 20 times over”, he said adding that credible candidates be voted into power as most political parties in the country were ideologically baseless.
