Benin socio-political group, the Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM), has sent a congratulatory message to the Edo State Governor Elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo and his party, the All Progressives Congress(APC).
In the message signed by its President, Elder Curtis Ugbo and the Secretary General, Ms. Esohe Adun, the BSM stressed: “BSM is very sure that the emergence of Senator Okpebholo and indeed the APC in the Edo State Government House (OsadebeyAvenue) is a sure sign that the eight years of locust that characterised the outgoing administration led by Governor Godwin Obaseki has finally gone forever and would only be remembered in the anals of history as the dark days that were.
“From a distance, we have watched Akpakomiza’s humility, attention to details and empathy as he campaigned around the length and breadth of the heartbeat State covering 192 wards and 18 local government areas.”
Going further, BSM, “In the course of the meandering throughout the localities that make up the state as you engaged in your issues based campaign never were you involved in silly games of thrones or fake promises meant to hoodwink the populace.
“No doubt we are assured that you will not only keep to your promises but bring to bear your nationwide experience in management of men, resources and opportunities to the advantage of the people of the state in your years as the number one citizen of the state which we pray should extend to eight years.”
According to the group, “we are also assured that our Traditional Institutions will be given a pride of place under your leadership thus moving the heartbeat state to its rightful pole position in the comity of subnationals.
“This is the bearest minimum that we expect from you which we are certain that you will meet up with effortlessly not minding some minor, unavoidable hiccups that may crop up as we go along just as your party, the APC adhere to its welfarist agenda under the guidance of the amiable political leaders across the three Senatorial Districts of the State.”
