In a shocking turn of events, recently, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State finds himself caught in the collapse of infrastructure he refused to address.
All Campus Show reported with the headline "Edo Governor stucks in the broken, flooded road."
In this report, a L.P chieftain reacted to the shame of the Governor, Chief Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor otherwise known as Ultimate Equal, the global president of One Love Foundation and the father of Nigerian Students-FoNS who has been pointing to the bad roads in Edo State especially the said Sapele Road. Eholor's reaction stated that:
"I will keep calling those who refuse to listen to the cry of the people and just do the needful for the betterment of this country Nigeria."
"If Governor Godwin Obaseki had listened and responded to my pleas, protest and letter sent to the state regarding Sapele Road, he wouldn't have been the mockery of Edo people by now."
Today, Labour Party (LP) senatorial candidate in Edo Central in the 2023 general elections, Engineer Osereme Christen Omofoma, has decried the poor state of roads in Esan land, urging relevant authorities to explore all avenues to ensure quick interventions.
Engr Christen Omofoma who came second to defeat incumbent senator and PDP candidate in the Edo central senatorial election flayed the federal and state governments on what he termed the under-represention approach towards boosting the standard of living people of Esan people.
Addressing the newsmen in Irrua the administrative headquarters of Esan Central local government area, Omofoma said those who in the last election supported the present government were disappointed with the current state of the country and its infrastructural decay.
He expressed optimism that his political party, the LP, under the leadership of His Excellency Peter Obi, would form government of inclusiveness and be acceptable to the people.
According to him, he said most Nigerians are fed up with the ruling APC and PDP, and are yearning for LP to be in power. Adding that, the people need a government that will be just and provide infrastructure for the Esan people.
He urged the people to join the LP to vote out a government that had failed them and support party that would restructure the country and improve standard of living.
