Hon. Anamero Dekeri, the member representing Etsako Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has warned the people of Edo State to be cautious of the entitlement mentality by some aspirants as the state prepare for the 2024 governorship poll.
The lawmaker, who is aspiring to govern the state in 2024 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was speaking at his official declaration to contest for the number one political position.
“Let us be cautious of the entitlement mentality by some aspirants who are ill prepared for governance, taking into account that the leadership quality we bequeath the younger generation today will ultimately determine our society of tomorrow,” Dekeri stated.
Making his address, Dekeri said that “my aspiration represents hope for the good people of Edo State. I am confident of this because as a private citizen, I have successfully set up and managed businesses from which I have supported our people.
“In the past 12 years, my foundation – Anamero Idofe Foundation – have been active in supporting and providing communities with infrastructures and amenities such as schools, roads, community town halls, industrial boreholes, solar powered street lights, transformers and lots more.
“I am happy to inform you that through my foundation, millions of writing materials have been distributed across public primary and secondary schools in Edo State; while thousands of students in tertiary institutions have benefitted from our bursary and scholarship awards.
“We have also empowered women and youths across the state with financial support while a couple of months ago, in fulfilment of my electoral pre-sworn in promises to Etsako people, I made 32 millionaires across the 32 wards in Etsako Federal Constituency and built an ultra modern market for the people of South Ibie in Etsako West Local Government Area.”
Going further, he stressed: “This initiative I promise to replicate across the 192 wards in Edo State with greater number if nominated and elected. There is no doubt that our people are creative if only we summon the political will to give them the necessary support for them to express their creativity and potentials.”
Reeling out his agenda, Dekeri said promised that from his first day in office he will introduce free and compulsory education up to secondary school level “while students in tertiary institutions will enjoy bursary support.
On teachers he stated that they will be exposed to continuous training that will enhance their teaching “and most important we shall ensure that teachers benefits will be enjoyed on earth through an emolument package that will give meaning to life and attract competent personnel to the teaching profession.”
On health, he asserted that qualitative healthcare delivery system shall be his priority. He promised the rehabilitation and equipment of existing healthcare centres and the establishment of functional ones across the communities in the state.
