Coalition of Civil Society Groups and Youths with women from the two local government councils that make up Ovia Federal Constituency of Edo State on the platform of Ovia development movement, have endorsed the House of Representatives ambition of Orobosa Omo-Ojo, the Commissioner for Transport in Edo State to represent Ovia Federal Constituency in the forth coming February 14, 2015 election.
The endorsement of Omo-Ojo was announced at a meeting attended by over 618 persons made up of men, women and youths drawn from Civil Society and Non Governmental Organisations.
The communiqué issued by the body and signed by 16 leaders of the groups, appealed to All Progressives Congress leaders and delegates from Ovia South West and Ovia North East Local Government Areas to cast their votes for Omo-Ojo in the interest of Ovia men, women and most especially the youths who have been sidelined in the state.

“Casting their vote for Omo-Ojo is the most surest way for the APC to win Ovia Federal Constituency seat owing to his pedigree, his empowerment of the youths, men and women in his constituency since his days as the publisher of Midwest Times and Midwest Herald newspapers, Special Adviser to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, right to his former position as Commissioner for Special Duties, Oil and Gas. He has continued to assist our people with his present office as Commissioner for Transport.
“He has been helping us with the positions he has occupied in the past six years in government. This is an attestation to a fact that when elected as a Federal legislator, it will be an ample opportunity for him to further raise the bar of empowerment.”
The communiqué also showered praises on the House of Representatives hopeful for his political steadfastness. “He is a true party man and a foundation member of the progressives in Edo State, having served as the Director to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole Campaign Organisation in 2007, where he successfully won the media battle before and after April 14, 2007 Governorship Elections in Edo State and resisted all entreaties to decamp to the opposition party.”
The group emphasized that Ovia will need a loud voice. “The name ‘Ovia’ is a deity in Bini which is dreaded for its vibrant reactions. Ovia Federal Constituency need an enthusiastic person whose voice can be heard to move the Constituency forward.
We are appealing to all that matters in the processes of nominating APC candidate for Ovia Federal Constituency to kindly vote for the nomination of Comrade Orobosa Omo-Ojo, JP because his credentials speak volume more than any other aspirant in the same race.”
The communiqué which is signed by Omosigho Vincent concluded that the group has resolved to mobilize voters in Ovia South West and Ovia North East that will cast their votes for Omo-Ojo during the general elections on February 14, 2015. “We shall mobilize votes and defend same across the 23 wards in the constituency should APC delegates give him the ticket.”
