@ All we were at a meeting today organized by the Office of the President through his special assistant on Inter Party Affairs. The meeting was attended by all the Governorship candidates in the Edo State Elections. As you can see from the attached program Comrade Adams was the Special Guest of Honour so he was asked to make a brief remark. In his remark the governor noted that his name was not spell right. He said that since his name was not included in the list of candidate he was going to use the opportunity ot both talk as a special guest and a candidate so he spoke for 43 minutes. At a point the chairman had to ask him to stop. Comrade Adams major concern was the issue of one man one vote. He asked President Jonathan to rise up to the challenge and to that he should be the president of Nigeria and not PDP. That Nigeria was bigger than any one political party. He asked why PDP was listed first on the list of candidates. His speech was applauded. All the other candidates were ask to make a 10 minutes presentation. When it was the turn of PDP to make their speech, although General Arhiavbere came into the venue with Dan Orbih, he left before the program started proper. Distinguished Senator Roland S. Ovie was introduced as the one that was going to represent General Airhiavbere. The people protested and Senator Owie was not allowed to speak. The other candidates made their speeches include Chief Solomon I. Edebiri whose presentation received a standing ovation. Anyway after the last candidate spoke, Comrade Adams said he would like to speak as a candidate for the allocated 10 minutes and the crowd said no way. He went to the mic and the roof almost came down. Our EPF David Olukoga was there and it took the personal intervention of Comrade and the Chairman of the occasion to cool tempers down. Comrade was allowed to speak for 4 minutes. I can proudly say that the polity is fully charged. As our people will say in the street, E don catch fire.  Ovbe sakpo ooooo. Aso obo ke vbe owe yegbe.
