As the winds of judicial recalls of elected political office holders who decaped from the political party platform through which they were elected continue to blow across Nigeria, a group, seemingly sympertetic to the course of the All progressives Congress(APC) is perfecting its papers ahead of a possible litigation ahead of a recall.
The group, Socio-Cultural in nature under the aegis of, the Edo Better Days Organisation,( EBDO) said it has "concluded plans to drag Edo Speaker, Marcus Onobun and the other lawmakers that defected to the People's Democratic Party, PDP, to court, saying it is clear case of stealing the mandate of the All Progressive Congress,APC, in Edo State.
EBDO in a statement released in Benin City, signed by the Chairman, Tietie Johnson and Secretary Edentanle Omozejiele , copies of which was made available to journalists "expressed optimism that the court which is the last hope of the common man would return the stolen Mandate of the people who voted for the APC."
The group maintened that "we can not allow APC votes to be thrown into the Dustin when they laboured to get the votes for the All Progressive Congress APC in the state.
According to them, "we decided to contest the position in Court since they defected with our votes to another party ,abandoning the Party that gave them the votes.
" We have consulted our lawyers already and they have gone to court to perfect the necessary papers."
According to the group, " the lawmakers must be made to account for the People's votes which they took to another party which did not vote for them."
EBDO, " is committed to the people's welfare and we never allow an in individual or group of people to steal the mandates given to them through the ballot boxes".
