Edo: Let’s Not Slip Backward

By Dr Wellington Osadolor

Since 2016, Edo State has embarked on a remarkable journey of progress and transformation under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki. Through a series of strategic policies and programs, the state has witnessed significant reforms across both the public and private sectors. This momentum of development and improvement is a testament to Governor Obaseki’s visionary leadership and commitment to the betterment of Edo State.

Transformations Under Governor Obaseki

Governor Obaseki’s tenure has been marked by numerous achievements that have positively impacted the lives of Edo citizens. His administration has focused on creating an enabling environment for businesses, enhancing public service delivery, and fostering socio-economic development. Key areas of transformation include:

1. Economic Reforms : Initiatives to boost local businesses and attract investments have revitalized Edo’s economy. The state has seen a rise in entrepreneurial activities and job creation, contributing to economic stability and growth.

2. Education and Healthcare ; The governor’s emphasis on education reform has led to improved school infrastructure, teacher training, and student performance. In healthcare, investments in facilities and services have enhanced the quality of care available to residents.

3. Infrastructure Development : Significant investments in road construction, transportation networks, and urban renewal projects have improved connectivity and livability in Edo State.

4. Public Sector Reforms :Efforts to streamline government operations and enhance transparency and accountability have made public services more efficient and accessible to citizens.

The Stakes in 2024

As we approach the 2024 elections, Edo State faces a critical decision. The progress made over the past years must not be jeopardized by a return to policies that have previously stifled development and made life difficult for Nigerians. Currently, Nigerians across the country are grappling with soaring prices of essential commodities and widespread economic hardship. The poor are suffering immensely, and the cost of living continues to rise, exacerbating the plight of many.

In this challenging context, it is imperative that Edo State continues on its path of progress and does not slip backward. The upcoming elections present an opportunity for Edo citizens to choose leaders who will build on the achievements of the Obaseki administration and steer the state toward further growth and development.

Supporting a Visionary Leadership

To ensure that Edo State remains on the path of progress, it is crucial to support a leadership team that is committed to transformational governance. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presents a compelling option with Barr. Asue Ighodalo as the governorship candidate and Barr. Osarodion Ogie as the deputy governor candidate. These leaders bring a wealth of experience, a clear vision for the future, and a deep commitment to the well-being of Edo’s citizens.

Barr. Asue Ighodalo is known for his dedication to economic development and good governance, while Barr. Osarodion Ogie has demonstrated strong leadership and a commitment to public service. Together, they represent a team that can continue the work of transforming Edo State, ensuring that the state remains a beacon of progress and opportunity.

Edo State has come a long way since 2016, and the progress made under Governor Godwin Obaseki’s administration must be safeguarded. As we look to the future, it is essential that Edo does not slip backward by electing leaders who will undo the gains achieved. By supporting the candidacy of Barr. Asue Ighodalo and Barr. Osarodion Ogie, Edo can continue to move forward, building on its successes and creating a brighter future for all its residents. The choice is clear: Edo must move forward.

2023: POLITICAL TSUNAMI, AS OBA AND WIFE JOIN YPP!

Senator Bassey Albert Akpan, popularly known as OBA and wife, shook the political foundation of Akwa Ibom State today (July 18, 2022) as they officially transferred their membership to the Young Progressive Party.

OBA, the senator representing Akwa Ibom North East, resigned his membership of PDP July 15, 2022

At a brief ceremony witnessed by a tumultuous crowd of supporters and well-wishers at Ibiono Ibom Eastern 1 ward, the Senator and wife, Imaobong, who enjoy mass followership of their people, picked membership cards number 3887 and 5006, respectively.

After the Senator Akpan and wife completed all the party membership documents before the ward chairman, their cards were later presented to them by the state chairman, Pastor Nyenime Andy, on behalf of the party.

While welcoming OBA and wife into the new party, Andy said YPP has become the fastest growing party in the state with the senator’s entrance.

In appreciation of his people and the party, OBA, on behalf of his wife, family and supporters, declared himself a vessel in the hand of God to bring positive change to Akwa Ibom state.

He said though some persons boast in their financial warchests, they can never buy the conscience and rights of the people.

“Today, a new Akwa Ibom births. Akwa Ibom for you and Akwa Ibom for me. Akwa Ibom where there will be justice for all”, he said, commending Pastor Andy for rejecting all financial inducements from dubious elements to do wrong.

He offered himself to God, Akwa Ibom people, and the party to use him to change Akwa Ibom State.

He said 2023 will be about “character, competence and capacity”, assuring that he will never let Akwa Ibom people down.

He pledged that he and his teeming supporters were joining the party to help build and improve the foundation so that it can form the next government of Akwa Ibom state.

The electoral fortunes of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Abia State in 2023 may have suffered a major setback following mass defection that hit the party on Saturday as the Young Progressive Party, YPP, formally unveiled its candidates in the state for the 2023 polls.

A number of PDP faithful including serving Council Chairman, tens of Councilors, Special Advisers to the Governor and numerous others dumped the PDP for YPP.

Leading the crowd of defectors was the Chairman of Obingwa Local Government Area, Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu’s home LGA, Hon. Ibe Nwoke (Abidabi).

Nwoke who was elected Council boss under the platform of the PDP is YPP’s flag bearer for Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo federal consituency.

He said time had come for youths to be given the opportunity to reposition the state.

Other decampees were former Special Adviser to the Governor on Small and Medium Enterprise, Lady Sarah Ogwudire; former PDP legal Adviser in Osisioma LGA, Emmanuel Enyinnaya among many Councilors in Osisioma, Aba North and South as well as Ugwunagbo LGAs.

Former members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, were among the decampees.

Former PDP chieftain and Pioneer Director General of the National Directorate of Employment, NDE, Chief Chuku Wachuku was among those who received the party’s flag for Abia Central senatorial race.

Nwachukwu who said time had come for the old generation to give way for the younger generation vowed to help in transmitting power to the youths.

He said that a lot of youths were jobless because those in power lack the ideas and will power to create the necessary opportunities to positively engage the youths.

Addressing the mamoth crowd , YPP governorship candidate, Enyinnaya Nwafor, said he would wipe away the tears of Abians if voted into power.

He promised not to let the people down, saying that it took him seven years to prepare for the governorship.

The son of the former Abia Deputy Governor promised that Abia would witness infrastructural revolution and massive development under his watch.

” Something new will happen to Abia in 2023. We are coming to restore the dignity and hope of humanity in Abia. We will wipe away the tears of Ndi Abia.

” Go home and rejoice, hope has come to Abia. Go home and celebrate because liberation has come. Nobody anointed me, I have no excess luggage. We have come to work for Abia’.

Speaking earlier, his running mate, Chima Anyaso, who was a former governorship aspirant in the PDP, said it was time for the youths to take over the state.

Anyaso who alleged that the PDP betrayed them said YPP had come to liberate the state.

In a remark, the National Chairman of YPP, Comrade Bishop Amakiri described the party’s candidates in the state as the winning team, urging Abians to vote for them.

He later handed over the party’s flag to the candidates.

The state Chairman of the party, Hon. Chimex Uluocha, in a remark, said that Abians were tired of living in bo***ge, assuring that YPP would usher in the desired change.

He decried the state of infrastructure in the state but assured that under YPP, Abia would become a pacesetter state in 2023.
