CRPP condemns Edo PDP Chairman for speaking against the loan, describing their action as anti-people.
The chairman of Edo state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Orbih, has been thoroughly condemned by the Coalition of Registered Political Party (CRPP), for opposing the move by the state government to seek loan from the World Bank for the execution of laudable and people-oriented projects in the state.
The CRPP also condemned the two PDP Senators representing Edo south and
Edo central, Matthew Uroghide and Clifford Ordia respectively, for
speaking against the loan, describing their action as anti-people.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the
Senate to approve the sum of N14.7 billion sought by the State for
infrastructure development.
The CRPP in a statement issued on Friday in Benin and signed by Dr.
Samson Isibor, argued that if the loan was approved by the World Bank,
the state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, would judiciously utilize the it
to better the lots of the people of the state as it has done in the
past.
“The coalition therefore appreciates and supports the Comrade Governor
for seeking the loan from the World Bank to execute laudable and people-
oriented projects. Since his assumption of office about seven years
ago, he has executed uncountable numbers of developmental projects such
as road networks in rural and urban centres, the on-going modern Central
Hospital in Benin, schools among others,” the statement said.
The group therefore urged the Senate to approve the loan without further
delay as it would be used to improve the lots of Edo people.
