As Edo State prepare for another political dispensation in next year 2024 Governorship election, it is imperative to quickly put in motion the process of choosing a competent hand to drive the process of actualizing the dream and vision of Edo People.
I guess what the people will be looking out for is certainly beyond the mere governance many people are used to, but someone having the capacity to change the full narrative by putting purposeful and result oriented government in place.
Remember, Edo People do not want someone who is coming to test run governance, but the one that will hit the ground running if elected, having perfected his plans and visions for a smooth take off.
So, let us not make a mistake in choosing the right person, because producing a governor that will serve for four years without actualizing the vision of Edo People will be a complete disaster in waiting.
On this note, in order to realize this dream of Esan and Edo State by extension I strongly believe it can be achieved through Engr. Gideon Ikhine whose vision is in tarden with that of the people. He is someone that will guarantee effective governance which will usher in development to all the nooks and crannies of Edo State.
Again, we have no doubt that such a vision can only be achieved through extensive consultation with all the stakeholders across the three senatorial districts. But having a vision that is not unanimously seen as workable, progressive and achievable is tantamount to an effort in futility. Once such vision is agreed upon it becomes ideal to have someone who can drive the process to a logical conclusion.
In the light of the above, this is where Esan agenda comes in to present someone like Engr. Gideon Ikhine to other senatorial districts in the state. Because one thing is to agree on a vision, but having a suitable, competent, and intelligent person whose experience spreads across both private and public sectors of the economy will be an added advantage to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.
As a matter of fact, Edo State needs a quick economic recovery to revamp health care, industries, Agriculture, Education and many other sectors that require attention for the good of the people. In order to realize these laudable objectives in our dear state you need not to search further. Engr. Gideon Ikhine has already positioned himself to face the huge task ahead that will facilitate the quick economic recovery for Edo State.
My interaction with Engr. Ikhine sometimes ago show clearly that he is prepared and very much abreast with the problems being faced by Edo State and all the necessary solutions that will equally solve the problems iif given the opportunity to serve. This simply means that he is already ahead of others by consulting with stakeholders across the state. Records available also show that he has never failed in any venture.
It has always been his dream to deploy his wealth of experience in his private business as a renowned entetpreneur to govern Edo State and bring sustainable development. Therefore, with due respect he cannot be compared with those array of persons showing interest to contest and who may have just realized that Edo 2024 Governorship election is next year and decided to join the race.
I am convinced that Esan and Edo State in general will need someone whose vision is in line with the people which will bring the kind of development Bendel State witnessed when Prof. Ambrose Alli of blessed memory served as Governor.
To this end, I have no doubt that Esan will be very keen about Engr. Ikhine, knowing full well that his candidature can easily be acceptable in the other two Senatorial districts if presented to them.
Let me assure you that as we begin the journey to Osadebey Avenue in 2024 you will have the opportunity to meet with the man that will pilot the affairs of Edo State one on one to know him better as time goes on.
Do stay with us as we continue to update you with his plans.
