GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State and the
campaign train of the governorship candidate of the APC, Mr Godwin Obaseki,
challenging Chief Anenih to disclose what he has done for his people in
Esanland as former Minister of Works and Chairman of the Niger Ports Authority
(NPA).

Oshiomhole disclosed that the roads and schools
were built by his administration in Esan land, adding that he has done for Esan
people what Chief Anenih and the PDP failed to do for them all the while they were
in power at both the state and Federal levels.
It would be recalled that Chief Anenih had
accused the Oshiomhole’s administration of neglecting Esanland and urged the
people to vote for PDP.
The governor received over two thousand PDP
leaders including political allies of Chief Anenih led by Engr. Ayere, a member
of the senatorial caucus of PDP, Victor Evbiadagbon and Col. Imuse into the
APC.
According to Oshiomhole who reacted during a
rally, “this politics is not about empty rhetoric; action speaks louder than
voice. Today, I will say never in the history of Esanland has any government
done what I have done for Esan people.
One of the first roads we did was the one leading
to the ancestral home of Chief Anenih whom I respect as a father but I disagree
with him in politics.
“We did the road leading to Ugboha, the one from
Igueben to Ewohinmi. We built the road from Ujogba to Ebudin, from Ohordua to
Emu, we built the road from Eguasan to Ubiaja, Igueben to Udo. Right now, we
are working to build a major road in Ekpoma town, from Irrua to Sugbenu. The
truth is too stubborn; we built a completely new hospital in Ewohinmi.”
