Pastor Peters Osawaru Omoragbon has emerged the
Governorship Candidate of the National Conscience Party (NCP) preparatory for
the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State.
The election of Omoragbon took place in Benin City, Edo
State on Saturday 27 June, 2020.
In his
Acceptance Speech, titled: No Retreat, No Surrender, Pastor
Peters Osawaru Omoragbon said “Today, history has been repeated again as the
delegates of my great party, the National Conscience Party overwhelmingly voted
me as the Party’s flag bearer for the forthcoming Governorship election in Edo
state, come September 2020”
He went into memory lane when he said “In 2016, I was on
the ballot with the current outgoing governor-Mr Godwin Obaseki of the then APC
and Pastor Ize Iyamu of the then PDP. In the usual Nigerian politricks, the
state resources were pillaged to canvas votes and bribed the electorates for
their votes.
“We are all witnesses to the current show of shame of the
two actors in the opposing parties as they continue to recycle themselves from
their parties interchangeably. What this show to prove is that, there is no
difference between the People’s Democratic Party and the All Progressive
Congress in Nigeria. They are two sides of the same coin,“ Omoragbon stated.
He went further to state that what cannot be taken away
from the two parties and their members in government is the pitiable condition
they have left the Nigerian state through corrupt practices, maladministration
and nepotism.
“Nigeria and indeed Edo State can boast of countless
intelligent and resourceful people to choose from both home and abroad. That is
why people like us will never cease to present ourselves to you people of Edo
state whenever the opportunity calls for it as the best alternative between people
of integrity and the Ali Babas and the 40 thieves currently usurping our
collective will and wealth to oil their selfish personal political interests as
opposed to the growth and development of Edo state.
“As we push forward towards September 2020, the choice is
for you people of Edo state to look around and ask yourselves if by the current
actions of the PDP and the APC if Edo state does not deserve better? Are you
satisfied with the way you are living?
“I Pastor Peters Osawaru Omoragbon hereby full heartedly
accept my party nomination and present myself to you as that alternative. I
have served the country as a qualified nurse since 1983 till date (both in
Nigeria and the Diaspora) and meritoriously retired from the civil service in
Nigeria with no blemish, that today I get my honest monthly pension from the
state as a mark of service and not from the stolen common wealth of the state.
“I do not have any money to share to any godfathers or
godmothers so as to buy my way into a party to become its candidate. What I
have is the name of God Almighty whom I FEAR and Serve and my Conscience to
honestly serve you as your humble servant with all sincerity of purpose.”
Omoragbon promised to be transparent if elected as
governor “I shall lead with all transparency and accountability and I can
assure you that, if voted into power in September, every income of the state
that has not been properly utilized by anyone will be accounted for under
extant laws in the country.
He said “The National Conscience Party is the Party for
the masses and of the masses. It is the ONLY PARTY in Nigeria that candidates
DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY TO PICK TICKETS to contest elections. That is where the
corruption start. For, when you purchase a ticket to the tune of millions of
naira, it is an open invitation to embezzlement of the state resources if
voted.
“I shall be publishing our Plans and Programs for Edo
state during the electioneering for you all to make your choice.
“Suffice to mention that my program for the state
development and growth shall be premised under the Party’s Manifestoes termed:
THE TEN CARE PROGRAM namely: Food care, Housing Care, Energy care, Transport
Care, Health care, Security Care, Employment Care, Education Care, Water
Care.
He thanked all the NCP stakeholders for a choice well made
“I thank the Party leadership in Edo State under Comrade Victor Ogba and the
Secretary Haruna Perfect and my National Chairman Mallam Yunusa Tanko
represented here today by the Acting National GS, Comrade Adebola and all the
members of the Party nationwide.
