A candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress for the Esan West Constituency seat for the Edo State House of Assembly, Rev Olu Martins, has called on the party leader, Senator Seriake Dickson, to ensure equity and fairness in the state.

In an open letter to Dickson, Martins noted that the party needed to consider the views of various groups to be able to do well at the polls in 2027.

He said, “Political foresight and proactive tendencies are one of the major characteristics of an astute statesman and political icon. Fortunately for the Nigerian Democratic Congress, you possess both attributes in abundance.

“Sir, we must implore to finish what you have already started by ensuring equity, balance and fair play as you have always done. Politics, they say is local, so we are privileged as Edo people to have our national leader hail from our geopolitical zone.

“As an Esan man and the candidate of the NDC for the Esan West Constituency of the Edo State House of Assembly in the forthcoming elections, winning is important to me and win we will.
