Ahead of the forthcoming election into the Edo State House of Assembly, the Chief of Staff to Edo State Governor, Hon Osaigbovo Iyoha has disclosed that among other things, "Governor Godwin Obaseki’s massive investment in roads construction would give the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) victory in Saturday’s House of Assembly election."
Hon Osaigbovo Iyoha, in a chat with journalists in Benin City, said the beneficiaries of these roads are voters who reside in Edo state and are convinced that the only way for more of such infrastructure to get to them is to have a House of Assembly that would complement what the governor has already started. An assembly that would make people friendly laws. I am therefore appealing to the people to vote the candidates of the PDP on Saturday.
According to him, “We have a governor who believes strongly that the people know what they are benefiting from this administration in all areas which we cannot exhaust in just one briefing.
“For instance, looking at the road infrastructure, there are massive opening-up of hundreds of communities across the three senatorial zones of the state and you know the role roads play in the movement of farm produce from the farms to the nearest markets.
“Have you gone to St. Saviour Road recently to see the massive work already done by this administration? That road has been abandoned over the years and successive governments had only gone there to campaign but never followed up with actions but go there today. That is a road that cuts across not less than 10 communities. Do you know the number of people living in that axis of the state?
" The people of Edo state can not forget so soon, the state of the Irhiri Road that connects the Airport Road to the by-pass by Sapele Road years back, but today it has opened several communities in that area. That road is 18.5 kilometres long passing through Irhirhi, Aruogba, Obazagbon, Oke-Oroma, Obagienevbosa, Ogheghe and Sapele Road bypass.
"That road has been an alternative to people staying after the by-pass to come to town and it has hugely reduced the pains of passing through that Sapele Road axis which has been abandoned by the federal government. As I speak to you, work is still on-going in Ekheuan Road.
“Go to Edo Central, the same massive road construction is on-going, go to Edo North, you will see the same thing. The Jagbe Road in Etsako West has been serving as an alternative to road users as result of the inability of the federal government to fix the Benin – Auchi – Okenne Road.
“The people know and that is why we are appealing to them to vote for the candidates of the PDP on Saturday so that the governor will be empowered to do more.”
