The Edo State chapter of Coalition of Registered Political Parties (CRPP), has urged the state Governor, Monday Okpebholo, to set up committee to oversee the compliance on ban on market unions and associations.

The State chairman of the group, Dr Samson Isibor, made the call in a statement made available to newsmen in Benin City.

Isibor noted that the committee would also be mandated to monitor markets to ensure that the directives of the governor to unions and associations are complied with.

Dailymonitorngr reports that CRPP, however, commended the State Governor for the people-oriented policies so far initiated since assumption of office in November 12, 2024.

He noted that the activities of market unions and associations leaders are responsible to the unabated increases in prices of food items in markets across the state.

Isibor also thanked the Governor for taking the bull by the horn and demonstrating the political will to suspend the Unions. 

He condemned what he described as activities of unscrupulous market unions and associations.

"Most commendable is the suspension of the market unions and associations that have been making life unbearable for the common man.

"It is to the delight of the people and relief of the masses to see that the prices of most food items are crashing down.

"We have noticed that immediately after the Governor's pronouncement suspending these wicked market unions, prices of food items crashed like parks of cards, to the benefit of the impoverished common man in the state. 

"The CRPP have earlier pleaded with Governor to deal with these anti masses market unions and associations which he has done without wasting time, this acts shows Okpebolo is a listening Governor.

"We also  urged Governor Okpebholo to go a step further by setting up committees to oversee and monitor the markets to ensure compliance with his order", he said.
