Ejune, who is also a former Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor Godwin Obaseki, praised the governor for his impactful projects in the heartbeat state.
He is of the opinion that posterity will rate the governor high in all aspects of delivery of dividends of democracy especially as it concerns siting of legacy projects in all parts of the state.
