Residents laud infrastructural projects, as Obaseki intensifies work on Siluko Road




Residents of Edo State have commended the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration, for keeping to his promise of delivering durable infrastructural projects to improve livelihoods in the state.


Contractors handling infrastructural projects were busy at different sites when journalists went around Benin metropolis to inspect the projects.


Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, explained that ongoing infrastructural projects in Benin metropolis are part of renewed drive by the state government to deliver on its promise on urban renewal.


He said the Obaseki-led administration is making sure that the COVID-19 pandemic in the state does not hinder ongoing projects, as the state readies for a post- coronavirus (COVID-19) era.


Meanwhile, residents of Siluko Road described the spots improvement/sectional overlay on the road as timely and commendable.


Stanley Asemota said, “It is commendable that the state government is not taking any chance in ensuring that it delivered on road projects despite the COVID-19 pandemic in the state. The rehabilitation work on Siluko Road will ease vehicular movement and improve socio-economic activities when people return back to their normal daily activities.”


A resident of Otete Road, off Textile Mill Road, in Egor Local Government Area, Odemwingie Matthew, said the massive construction project in the area is promise-kept by the governor to the people.


“I am impressed with the quality of construction work ongoing in the area. The governor promised to deliver on the project and with the pace of work being done here, I am confident that the governor will see to the completion of the project. This area has suffered much neglect by past governments. We are grateful to Governor Obaseki,” he added.

Edo 2020: Group launches campaign against godfatherism, declares support for Obaseki's reelection bid

  A socio-political group, Bury Godfatherism Movement (BGM), has drummed support to the second term aspiration of the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, vowing to mobilise Edo people to put an end to godfatherism during the state's governorship election scheduled for September 2020.   The group said it was shocking to see how the suspended National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is aspiring to be the new Edo godfather after the people supported him to defeat godfathers in the state.   Speaking at the launch of its public campaign in Benin City, President of the group, Osamede Oghogho, said it was shameful to see a man who popularised words such as "Let the people Lead", "No More godfatherism" and "No Man is God," transform himself into another godfather.   Oghogho said young graduates came together to form the movement for the purpose of ensuring that godfatherism is finally buried in Edo State during the

  A group, Concerned Citizens of Edo State has charged youths in the state to meticulously follow the trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer in the September 19 governorship election in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.   In a statement signed by its Secretary, Mr. Orobosa Igbinoba, the group said it was pertinent to put young people and all right-thinking members of the public at alert on the case, due to the enormity of the allegations, as it would be unfair to make decisions without understanding the character and dealings of someone they are being presented with to run as governor.   The group said, "We call on Edo youths to be aware that Pastor Ize-Iyamu would be standing trial for a N700m money laundering case preferred against him and four others by the EFCC. The case comes up in court on July 2, 2020. After numerous tricks to detract the court, the judge has validated the charges preferre
