road in this area is the longest in Edo State, in those days it was not
like this. Oshiomhole has worked, Obaseki that is coming will work more

next phase is where we now begin to use the roads and schools to our
development. We will post more teachers to our schools so that we can
provide quality education but more importantly we need to expand the
economy of our state and bring back our population.

On his part, Governor Adams Oshiomhole says the state government will will
immediately commence the reconstruction of dilapidated structures in
two primary schools in the Local Government Area, namely, Adanako
Primary School, Ugo and Idumogo Primary School, Urhonigbe, in
continuation of the state policy of upgrading educational facilities for
optimum teaching and learning.
Speaking
at the APC governorship campaign rally at Adanako Primary School, Ugo,
Governor Oshiomhole said, "my farewell gift to this Ugo, before I leave
offtice, even before the election day, is I will reconstruct this
dilapidated school building and put red roof. As for the already
completed one, we will supply furniture by next week. Our children must
sit comfortably on good chairs so that they won't need to wash their
school uniform every day. If the classroom and the floor are clean,
school uniform won't be dirty every day."
He
said, "The work that is yet to be done is much. As we speak, we are
working at Iguododo Pimary School and many other places. In Orhionmwon, I
think we have done about 25 schools. We worked in every ward. We have
shown you our candidate. He has been working with us for the past eight
years in this government. He knows what we have done and what we have
not done. Godwin is your son. He knows how we have been working, and so,
he must continue to do the work."
At
the APC rally at Idumogo Primary School, the Governor said, "Let me
tell you what I mean by continuity and consolidation. We say this one so
that people will not forget. Now, we are going to pull down this roof
and raise the walls and put red roof, so that on the whole of this
place, there is no more evidence of PDP. I will start it and Godwin will
finish it. That is what we mean by continuity: continuity of red roofs,
continuity of good roads, continuity of tap water and continuity of
providing jobs for the youths and support for women."
According
to Oshiomhole, "The other one is that rubber plantation that has
already been given to a new investor who will rebuild it, and we have
given them additional land. I have already signed the certificate of
occupancy so that they can return back to work. When it is working,
youths will be employed and even women will be cooking for factory
workers and money will circulate."
Oshiomhole
said, "If I am the Okakuo of Urhonigbe, and they don't have light, that
will be shameful. That is why I said since the Okakuo of Urhonigbe is
the Governor, my people must get light. So, I have told the Okaevbo that
Edo State Government will pay the twenty million naira for the
electricity bill owed by Urhonigbe community. I have told the Okakuo of
Urhomehe that we will talk to BEDC so that when we pay that money, they
will restore light to Urhonigbe,”
