An Edo based group, The Conscious Watchmen has thrown its weight behind Senator Ehigie Uzamere by condemning a self acclaimed human rights activist, Patrick Eholor who recently went ratting with unstantiated allegations against the distinguished senator in an trending video.
In a statement signed by the group president, Arthur Ogunro said: “Our attention has been drawn to the unprovoked, unsolicited, attention seeking and totally jaundiced rantings of self acclaimed rights activist, Patrick Eholor, spewing loads of unverifiable claims against the person of Distinguished Senator Ehigie Edobor Uzamere.
“All the false unverifiable claims that Eholor made can be viewed from his attention seeking attributes which in some years ago culminated in his sudden appearance at the EndSARS protest in Lagos to claim some bragging rights which he was never entitled to.
He will forever tell the story of how the law enforcement agents clamped him in detention where he rightly belong.
“For his information, Senator Ehigie Uzamere meritoriously served two uninterrupted terms of eight years at the National Assembly 2007 and 2015 representing Edo south district where he contributed his quota to the development of both the state and the country through his robust debates at the hallowed chamber of the Senate.
“An architect by training, Senator Uzamere has flown the Benin flag proudly wherever he goes. He has never failed to identify with his roots. And it is based on this that he has become a voice to be reckoned with on matters regarding Benin and indeed Edo State.
“Senator Uzamere is a real, loyal party man and we see him doing nothing wrong in canvassing the party line in his utterances or pronouncement and it’s quite strange how Eholor comes in to attack his person, it’s really confusing ”
But as a reknown ‘busybody’, Eholor who thrives in hiding under the flag of human rights activism to massage his ego trip is understandable.
“We are doing this reaction to Eholor’s nonsense talk to put the records straight and not because we attached any value to his noisemaking. His modus operandi is to seek relevance where he has none and we are not about to oblige him in his infamous techniques.”
