He said the federal government is currently distributing relief materials across 18 states in Nigeria Edo and Delta is not included and that the most worrisome part is that our own son is the minister of health in Nigeria that goes by the name Osaigie Ehanire, unfortunately he has not been able to perform as Edo indigene and he has not been able attract anything to Edo indigenes doorsteps.
" Imagine the minister who is our own son he has abandoned and turned his back against the indigenous people of Edo state
"Imagine a minister of health who cannot include his own state amongst the relief materials in the benefited states on covid-19 centers or to be able to motivate the federal government for Edo state to be among the listed states they are sharing #5000 Naira to, it's a shame a total shame".
The group said they are giving two weeks to the minister Dr Ehanire to address his people failure for him to do so, they are going to mobilized across the state and pass a vote of zero confidence on him.
