“The popular maxim is, Vox Populi, Vox Dei. The voice of the people is the voice of God. We are truly in support of the quest for restructuring and peaceful co-existence of all tribes in the country. This is the current trend across the world and Nigeria is not an exception.”
The OPC members also applauded the administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki for its transformation agenda, adding: “We urge all the citizens in the state to support the state government in his drive to take Edo to its promised land.”
