No apologies for APC defectors, says Oshiomhole Monday, 25 August 2014 By Alemma-Ozioruva Aliu, #GuardianNews EDO State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has said he has no apology to tender to those who decamped from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Speaking at the presentation of staff of office to Alhaji Jackson Etokhana, as the Oghieavhianwu of Avhianwu in Etsako Central Local Government Area, Oshiomhole urged the new royal father to educate his people to distinguish and support only politicians who stand for the interest of the larger family, rather than personal interest. “We must use every opportunity to educate our people. This afternoon, your Royal Highnesses, I am not asking you to go and carry party cards, I only ask you and your chiefs to educate our people to distinguish politicians who will stand only when it is good for their family, not when it is good for the larger community. “So, those who decamp because I do not put money in their pockets, let them continue to decamp; no apology and everybody will be remembered when they write the history of politics in Afemai land.” In a welcome address, HRH, Alhaji Jackson Etokhana expressed appreciation to the Governor for finding time to personally honour the people of Avhianwu with his esteemed presence. He said, “I see my installation as a call to complement the efforts of our governor at bringing peace and development to the people of Avhianwu and Edo State in General and my duty to act as a pathfinder, a rally point and coordinator-general of all our individual efforts aimed at bringing peace and development to the land.”
