Nigeria must get it right or be doomed – Oshiomhole

Auchi- As build up to the April 2011 intensifies, Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo, said in Auchi that the country must get it right this time or be doomed.

The governor, who led the ACN campaign train to Edo North, said the April poll would determine the future and unity of the country.

He added that the world was interested in the conduct of the elections.

Addressing the crowd that gathered at the administrative headquarters of Etsako West Local Government Area of the state, the former labour leader urged Nigerians to resist any attempt to impose leaders on them.

“Anybody who is planning to impose himself or herself at any level that person is daydreaming.

“Nigerians will never accept again any assemblyman who is not elected by his people, never again shall we have lawmakers who break the law to assume office, never shall will accept a commander- in -chief that is not elected.

“From now on, Nigerians are determined that those who wish to govern us must be product of the ballot box or nothing else.

“This election will no longer be a case of half bake. It is either we have a democracy or nothing. Issue of one man one vote must be translated,” he said.

Addressing the governor and the party’s candidates earlier at his palace, the Auchi monarch, Alhaji Aliru Momoh said politicians must not be heard to say one thing while doing the other.

He cautioned them against practices that were capable of flawing the April poll.

Momoh urged politicians to at all times uphold divine truth and make sacrifices that would turn the country around. (NAN)
