WE ARE NOT FATHER CHRISTMAS, EDO PEOPLE TELLS BEDC












WE ARE NOT FATHER CHRISTMAS, EDO PEOPLE TELLS BEDC

...We Will Not Continue To Pay For Services Not Rendered

It has come to our attention the response of the PRO of the capitalist BEDC Mrs Evelyn Gbiwen, in responding to some  media houses after the world Press  Conference by Edo people on Monday 16/02/2026 where we issued a 14 days ultimatum to them to resolve issues of electricity supplies and high handedness in their operations in extorting Edo people.

In her response, she posited that BEDC is not a charity organisation. Agreed. But the big question is,  are Edo people asking for free services from BEDC? Has BEDC ever done anything for free in Edo state??, has BEDC ever embarked on any corporate social responsibility that is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf in Edo??? So, it speaks volume of how BEDC has reduced/ relegated to Edo people as though we are beggars at their mercy.

But dear BEDC, Edo people are not beggars. We are not conquered people, and we are not also father Christmas who will continue to pay for services not rendered. 

You cannot continue to milk Edo people dry in a bid to satisfy your insatiable apatite for profits through dubious mean of bulling,  intimidation cum extortions.

Dear BEDC, it will do your organisation good to wake up to its responsibilities of providing power for Edo people, connect communities whom you have thrown into utter darkness, meter Edo people with the speed of light because sooner than ever, nobody will pay you estimated bills anymore.
