Mr Dennis Idahosa, Deputy Governor of Edo, says Gov Monday Okpebholo-led administration will open up riverine communities in the state for sustainable development.
Idahosa stated this on Wednesday at Inikorogha, Ovia South West Local Government Area of the state, during the All Progressives Congress ,APC, campaign for Aug.16 Ovia Federal Constituency By-election.
The Deputy Governor told the gathering that the new administration was keen to see development across the nooks and crannies of the state.
According to him, all that is needed from the people is support and patience with the nine months old Okpebholo-led government that hit the ground running immediately after inauguration.
Idahosa described the Inikorogha community as peace loving, which has always supported him politically and otherwise.
Adorned by in the traditional regalia of the community, Idahosa said, “I have always seen myself as one of your own even before decorating me with this traditional attire.
“All I need from you is massive votes in support for the APC candidate and our governor on Saturday”, he appealed.
He assured the community that the APC candidate would join the good work of the party as the representative of the constituency.
“Our candidate, Omosede Igbinedion, is not a neophyte in the business of lawmaking. The party chose her because we are sure of her capacity to deliver”, he said.
While addressing the people, the APC candidate promised to synergise with the deputy governor and the state government to bring laudable projects to Ovia Federal Constituency.
A chieftain of the party in the community, Mr Okubo Robert promised to moblise support for APC to ensure he emerge victorious at the poll.
He noted that the community had always supported APC in previous elections, adding that Saturday’s by-election would not be different.
