Edo Deserves Another Ministerial Slot, APC Chieftain Begs Tinubu

An  All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, John Mayaki, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to give special consideration to the state with regards to ministerial appointments.

He justified the call for an additional slot because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led administration in the state has been hostile to APC members.

Mayaki, who stated this in an open letter to President Tinubu on Monday, titled, “Why Edo State deserves special consideration,” said the ministerial portfolio for the state would put the APC on a strong footing to retrieve power from the PDP in the 2024 governorship election. 

The letter read in part, “As you are well aware, Edo State has maintained its status as an opposition state, with the People’s Democratic Party in control. The political landscape has not been favorable for APC members, and we have faced numerous challenges and hurdles in our pursuit of democratic participation, especially the non-inauguration of the 14 members of the State House of Assembly. 

“In the era following the tenure of former Governor Adams Oshiomhole, APC members encountered challenges in enjoying the benefits of governance and patronage. Our voices have been suppressed, and we have experienced hostility from the incumbent administration. The absence of a level playing field has been detrimental to our engagement in the political process.

“I must also highlight the unfortunate events that unfolded during the 2020 governorship election in our state. The lack of substantial support from the government at the centre and the outcome of the election underscores the need for a reinvigorated approach as we approach the upcoming election year. We require all the encouragement and backing possible to secure a victory that reflects the aspirations of our party and the electorate.

“In light of these circumstances, Mr President, I respectfully request your kind consideration for Edo State to receive special attention in your budding administration. Specifically, I urge you to consider granting Edo State two ministerial positions. While I acknowledge that this request is coming later than desired, the importance of strengthening our party’s presence and prospects in the state cannot be overstated.

“Furthermore, I implore you to contemplate affording Edo State a significant portfolio within your yet-to-be formed cabinet. This viable portfolio could serve as a beacon of hope for our members, galvanizing our efforts to reclaim power from the incumbent PDP government. Given the current absence of federal presence and the state of our infrastructure, such a significant portfolio for our minister-designate would not only inspire the party faithful but also provide an avenue for positive change and development.”

He added that investment in Edo State would translate to national development, saying  “By investing in Edo State, you would be contributing to the overall economic growth and development of the nation. The potential for job creation, youth empowerment, and improved infrastructure cannot be understated. Your strategic insight into the nation’s welfare places you in a unique position to champion these causes.”
