Exodus of Decampees as ADC Orhiomwon Unveils Grassroots Political Offensive

-








By Hon Daniel Asekhame 


Orhiomwon Local Government Area has emerged as a major battleground in Nigeria’s unfolding political realignment as a massive wave of decampees from the ruling and opposition parties openly pitched their tent with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declaring an end to politics of deception, exclusion, and failed leadership.

The historic gathering, which marked the official unveiling of ADC activities in Orhiomwon LGA, was led by towering political figures and grassroots leaders, including Senator Roland Owie, Senator Uzamere, Dr. Isaiah Osifo, and the Leader of ADC in Orhiomwon LGA, Don Festus Osagie Osagbiovo. The event attracted a multitude of ADC supporters, party faithful, youths, women, and new members whose presence underscored the growing loss of confidence in the current political order.

Addressing the energized crowd, the leaders delivered hard-hitting speeches, condemning the present government as grossly incapable of providing security, deeply entrenched in nepotism, and completely indifferent to the suffering of Nigerians. They lamented the alarming rise in poverty, hunger, and insecurity across the country, stressing that a government that cannot protect lives and livelihoods has lost its legitimacy.

They charged party members and new decampees to immediately register and collect their ADC membership cards, insisting that ADC remains the only credible and people-oriented political platform capable of dislodging a failed government that has mortgaged the future of Nigerians to personal interests and sectional loyalty.

The event also witnessed strong state-level support with the presence of influential members of the ADC Edo State Caucus, including the State Party Chairman, Hon. Kennedy Odion, former two-term Chairman of Owan West Local Government, Hon. Daniel Asekhame, and Chief Tony Alile, the Special Personal Secretary to the National Leader, Chief Odigie Oyegun. Their attendance reinforced the seriousness, organization, and growing strength of the party across Edo State.

In a major assurance to the people of Orhiomwon, ADC leaders promised a level playing field for all members seeking elective offices, declaring that the era of imposition, godfatherism, and politics of exclusion is over. The new decampees were further assured of full participation in party activities, decision-making processes, and leadership structures within the local government.

The Orhiomwon convergence stands as a bold political statement that the people have reached their breaking point and are no longer willing to tolerate incompetence, insecurity, and economic hardship. With the steady influx of decampees and the consolidation of its grassroots machinery, ADC is rapidly positioning itself as the rallying force for Nigerians determined to reclaim governance and restore hope.

The message from Orhiomwon is loud and unmistakable: ADC is rising, the people are awakening, and the politics of fear, poverty, and neglect is facing its strongest resistance yet.

  A chieftain of the ADC in Edo State, and two term Owan West LGA Chairman of Owan West, Hon Daniel Asekhame, has commiserated with the family of the two, just-graduated students of the Ambrose Alli University, who got involved in a fatal accident in Ekpoma yesterday. The unfortunate incident happened along  the Benin - Auchi road in Ekpoma. The students, who were  celebrating their graduation from the University, collided fatally with a stationery truck on the road.  Hon Asekhame, who himself is a graduate of the Ambrose Alli University, said he empathises deeply with the parents of the students, one of whom have been confirmed to have passed on, while the other one is in critical condition at a hospital. He acknowledged that they will almost be inconsolable at this point, but urged them to take heart and submit to the situation they have found themselves in at this time. He prayed that God would grant them the courage and fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. The...

The Zamfara State Killing Field

-

Nigeria is currently engulfed in a major crisis of intergroup relations that is rooted in the politics of economic survival but which is often easily exploited by the elite. The latest theatre of such madness is in the Northwest state of Zamfara where towns and villages are attacked, almost on a daily basis, by armed bandits while the vigilante groups brought in by the helpless communities to help restore order are either being exterminated or are themselves engaging in extra judicial killings. With villages being deserted and a growing resort to self-help in the face of what looks like organized crime, there are serious threats to our national economy and security that many Nigerians are not paying adequate attention to. The violence in Zamfara State is particularly difficult for “outsiders” to understand, especially when the people many of us had always assumed to be one and the same are now killing one another. That perhaps explains why most of the reportage of the or...

World of Guns 2 - (Modern Guns) Sub machine Guns (Series 2)

This is our second series on sub-machine guns.  The submachine gun is an automatic or selective-fired shoulder weapon that fires pistol-caliber ammunition. The concept of submachine gun dates back to World War One; the trench warfare of this war required effective and compact weapons for short-range fighting in trenches; additionally, a lightweight and maneuverable fully automatic weapon was desirable to complement light machine guns in both defensive and offensive scenarios, to cover last 200 meters of assault on enemy positions. The first weapon which can be considered to some extent as the world's first submachine gun was the Italian Villar-Perosa, which was a twin-barreled automatic weapon that fired 9mm Glisenti pistol ammunition from top-mounted box magazines. It was compact, but its primary tactical role was of short-range machine gun; therefore it was usually fired from some sort of mount, and fitted with machine-gun type spade grips instead of more conventional rifle-typ...
