Review Commentary on Raymond Osogbe’s Appreciation Message
By Comrade Ikhuenbor Felix Igbinevbo (Mr Figo)
Raymond Osogbe’s heartfelt message captures what many ordinary Edo citizens are beginning to feel — a sense of relief that government is finally responding to their cries. His words, though simple, carry the deep gratitude of a man who has experienced firsthand the compassion and responsiveness of Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo’s administration
When a citizen who once felt voiceless can now publicly testify that government listened, it signifies a turning point in leadership culture. Mr. Osogbe’s expression of thanks over the Governor’s decision to exit certain categories of workers from the contributory pension scheme is not merely a personal relief; it reflects a broader policy sensitivity — one that recognizes the human face behind bureaucratic systems.
His acknowledgment of the Governor’s magnanimity and compassion resonates strongly with the public mood in Edo State today. The people have long desired a leader who not only understands their plight but also acts decisively to correct past injustices. Governor Okpebholo’s employment of 5,000 teachers, as Osogbe highlighted, stands as one of the most significant workforce expansions since the days of former Governor Lucky Igbinedion. Such moves restore hope and confidence that government can indeed work for the people.
Mr. Osogbe’s tone also reminds us that leadership is best measured not by loud slogans but by quiet, consistent actions that touch lives. By invoking divine blessings and ancestral prayers, his message draws from the moral and spiritual roots of Edo culture — where gratitude and faith go hand in hand with civic duty.
However, beyond the personal praise lies a civic reminder: good governance must be sustained. As Osogbe rightly urged, “Don’t deviate from your noble ideals.” It is this consistency that will define Governor Okpebholo’s legacy. His administration has started on a promising note — listening, acting, and uniting — but history will judge its success by how faithfully these early promises are maintained.
In essence, Raymond Osogbe’s testimony is not just a thank-you note. It is a mirror reflecting the mood of a hopeful people, a call for continuity in compassion, and an encouragement for the Governor to remain steadfast on the path of inclusive governance.
Indeed, a listening leader is the truest blessing a people can have.
