Infrastructural Development EDC lauds Oshiomhole

 

BENIN CITY – Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has been lauded for the provision of massive infrastructural development and accountability to the people of Edo State.


The President of Esan Development Coalition, the Netherlands Mr. Clem Ehiosun gave the commendation recently in a chat with newsmen in Benin City.


According to the president, Governor Oshiomhole has done what was unthinkable in the past maladministration of the state.


Edo State was completely ruined with no hope, but with the timely intervention of the present administration, the state is beginning to take her pride of place among the fastest growing and developed states in the federation”, Mr. Clem Ehiosun stated.


Mr. Clem Ehiosun who pledged the support of his organisation to the comrade governor also appealed to all well meaning people of Edo State to support the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole-led administration as “together we can get to the promise land”.


The president of Esan Development Coalition who likened the present administration to that of late Professor Ambrose Folorunsho Alli, and Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia of old Bendel State in terms of massive infrastructural development and accountability to the people, however, commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the just concluded voters’ registration and verification exercises carried out in the country.


He further enjoined voters to come out enmasse to vote the candidates of their choice just as he advised all politicians in the state to eschew bitterness.
