As the support base of Hon. Prince Odi Okojie for Edo Central Senatorial seat continue to expand, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Uromi, Esan North-East Local Government Area, Oris Akhere Okpebholo has enumerated reasons why the party should yield the Senatorial ticket to Hon. Odi Okojie, the incumbent member representing Esan South-East/Esan North-East federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
In an interview with newsmen which has gone viral, Okpebholo who is a businessman and Chairman/Managing Director of Transnational Development Nigeria limited, noted that it is the turn of Agbazilo federal constituency to produce the Senator adding that the slot naturally belongs to Esan North-East Local Government Area as Esan South-East already produced a Senator in the person of Senator Odion Ugbesia and urged Esan South-East to negotiate for the House of Representatives which will be vacant when Hon.Odi Okojie emerges Senator.
According to Akhere Oris Okpebholo, “Honourable Odianosen Okojie has done well in this one and half year in office. He has impacted all the communities within his constituency by the provision of democratic dividends. He has provided solar powered street lights in all the communities within his constituency and in the education sector, he has improved on infrastructure in most of the schools in the communities in the constituency by building more classrooms in most of the schools.
“In the health Sector, he has organized free medical outreach and has built health centers in major communities while some are still under construction
To mitigate the perennial water issue in his communities, he sank several bore holes in most of the communities for water supply
“In my community in Uromi for instance, an abandoned road of over 40 years was constructed by Hon Odi Okojie and also many more in Other communities.
His pursuit of the senatorial position is not motivated by greed but a commendable endeavor worthy of applause because the existing zoning and rotational agreement favours Esan North East ( Uromi) and he ODI Okojie is presently the best man who fits the bill as he has garnered sufficient experience as a serving house of Representatives member.
“If he remains as a House of Representatives member, the position will slip us and go to Esan South-East and you know that Edo Central Senatorial District known for fairness and equity will not tolerate one local government area having a Senator and a House of Representatives member at the same time and the only way the position will get to Esan North-East is for the House of Representatives member to go to Senate while the Esan South-East takes the House of Representatives seat when the time comes.
“Odi okojie has demonstrated that he is dedicated, knowledgeable, and committed to representing the best interests of his constituents. He has a clear understanding of the issues facing his community and is cerebrally imbued to craft and implement effective policies to address them.
“OdI Okojie is a strong advocate for justice, equality, and he strives relentlessly for the common good working towards positive change and progress for all.
He is accessible, transparent, and willing to engage with the people he serves. His abode in Uromi kingdom and in the Federal Capital Territory, his gates are opened to all, prioritizing the needs of his constituents, working tirelessly to making a positive and long lasting legacy on their behalf”.
