The protesters said: “Today, we are working with other stakeholders and critical stakeholders and reaffirm our position that the operators of the BEDC will not earn an extension or renewal of the operating license for one day after 31 October 2018.” ,
“We vehemently protest and sue the BPP and NERC for pursuing the happiness of the people they vowed to serve.”
“The BPP and NERC should not show the stance that suggests they have been compromised by the DISCOs, as Nigerians in Edo, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti are seriously awaiting the non-renewal and renewal of the license from Vigeo Holdings Limited, the operators the Benin Distribution Company (BEDC) “.
