Group gives Oshiomhole condition to withdraw Airhiavbere’s petition from Tribunal
A group called the Concerned Citizens of Edo State, yesterday advised Governor Adams Oshiomhole to make his controversial certificate(s) available so that it would prevail on Major General Charles Airhiavbere, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the July 14 governorship poll to withdraw the petition from the tribunal.
It said, three months after the election that returned the Comrade Governor for a second term, Edo State has gone into a deep slumber. All development activities have ground to a halt. This is against the tenets of good governance.
The group, in a seven-paragraph statement signed by its spokesman, Mr. Osariemen Enohense stated that “If he (Oshiomhole) presents the genuine certifi

cates we will make 30, 000 photocopies each and march to Major General Charles Airhiavbere’s house to prevail on him to withdraw the petition from the tribunal.”
The group restated that one of the major grounds of the petition is that the comrade Governor is not qualified to contest the elections following allegations that some of the certificates tendered were forged, altered or misrepresented. The group believes that tendering certificates is not such a difficult thing to do, if the governor has them.
The statement read in parts, “As a result of the contentious certificate issue, all development projects in the state have come to a stop: the roads, hospital and other projects have been suspended. Edo State is not working.” It is speculated that several billions of Naira have been spent on lawyers by the state government.
On the other hand, “If the governor knows that he does not have these certificates, he should do the most honourable act and resign now. Edo State must wake up from this deep slumber.”
