PUBLIC STATEMENT
MY PEOPLE OF WARRI NORTH,
THE PRESSURE, THE CALLS, AND THE INTIMIDATION WILL NOT SILENCE THE TRUTH. WE ARE NOT AFRAID, AND WE WILL NOT BE BULLIED OUT OF EXERCISING OUR DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS.
IF ANYONE IS TRULY CONFIDENT IN HER CAPACITY, POPULARITY, AND ACCEPTANCE AMONG THE PEOPLE, THEN LET US PROCEED WITH DIRECT PRIMARIES AND ALLOW THE PEOPLE DECIDE. IF SHE WINS FAIRLY, WE WILL ALL RESPECT THE OUTCOME. HOWEVER, ANY ATTEMPT TO AVOID A FREE, FAIR, AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS.
LEADERSHIP IS NOT BY ENTITLEMENT, AND POLITICAL OFFICE IS NEITHER A FAMILY INHERITANCE NOR A TOOL FOR POLITICAL COMPENSATION. THE PEOPLE OF WARRI NORTH HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ASK CRITICAL QUESTIONS.
AS A FORMER COMMISSIONER FOR HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS, WHAT WERE THE CLEAR AND MEASURABLE IMPACTS MADE ON THE LIVES OF OUR PEOPLE? WHAT SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS WERE IMPLEMENTED THAT DIRECTLY BENEFITED THE GRASSROOTS? THESE ARE NOT PERSONAL ATTACKS — THEY ARE LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
FURTHERMORE, AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF LEADERSHIP, WHAT IS THE TRUE LEGACY THAT JUSTIFIES THIS KIND OF POLITICAL ARRANGEMENT? WHAT TANGIBLE DEVELOPMENTS WERE DELIVERED TO THE PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS WARRI NORTH?
OUR PEOPLE DESERVE LEADERSHIP BUILT ON MERIT, PERFORMANCE, COMPETENCE, AND GENUINE SERVICE — NOT IMPOSED DECISIONS OR POLITICAL COMPENSATION.
LET ME BE CLEAR: WE WILL REMAIN PEACEFUL, LAW-ABIDING, AND UNITED. THERE IS NO POLITICAL POSITION WORTH MORE THAN HUMAN LIFE, AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TURN OUR STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE INTO CHAOS.
WE STAND FOR FAIRNESS.
WE STAND FOR TRANSPARENCY.
WE STAND FOR THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
WARRI NORTH WILL NOT BE SILENCED.
