Alaghodaro: We Have Made Appreciable Progress in Edo State, Says Obaseki

Edo State Governor Mr. Godwin Obaseki has explained that his administration has made appreciable progress in the last two years due to the solid foundation laid by his predecessors, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Meanwhile, the governor has announced that 100 roads in different parts of the state have been marked for rehabilitation before the end of the year.

Obaseki stated this while addressing guests, All Progressives Congress (APC) faithful and members of his executive council during the luncheon which took place after Thanksgiving Service held in Benin-city to celebrate his two years in office.

The governor commended his predecessor, who is also the APC National Chairman, Oshiomhole, for the solid foundation of growth and development laid which he said his administration is building on.

He said: "The struggle for us began 10 years ago, and we promised change and the change is what we are experiencing today. We have made appreciable progress, and the foundation laid by Oshiomhole made it possible and easy for us to succeed."

Obaseki said two years on, the Edo people are celebrating the progress made with verifiable evidences across the state.

He thanked the people of the state for their support and encouragement as they have helped his administration perform better thus far, adding: "God has endowed the state and place it in a unique location. We all should be patient and trust in God to help us make more progress."

While welcoming guests to the luncheon, the Secretary to State Government (SSG), Barrister Osarodion Ogie, said God has been faithful to Obaseki administration as he is already fulfilling the electioneering promises made to the Edo people in the areas of job creation, infrastructural, sport development, education, health among others.

"This celebration is to tell our people how far we have gone in the fulfillment of our promises. For us, we are progressing as all we promised in four years would be done in less than four years looking at our progress so far in two years," he said.
