Governorship aspirant for the Edo 2024 Gubernatorial election, on the platform of the All Progressives Party, APC, and House of Representatives member, Hon. Anamero Dekeri has stated that the support of the people is his source of his desire to contest to rescue the state from the shackles of infrastructural decay, economic despair, pavading hopelessness and abysmal leadership totally bereft of ideas for sustainable growth and development of the state.
He made this known to journalists today shortly after his visit to the APC state Secretariat in Benin City to make his intention know to the state executive
Hon. Dekeri said he was confident of doing very well as governor because he succeeded as a private citizen. "I have successfully set up and managed businesses from which I have supported my people. In this past 12 years my Foundation, Anamero Idofe Anamero Foundation have been active in supporting and providing communities with infrastructure and amenities, such as roads, community Town Halls, industrial boreholes, solar powered street lights, trasformers and lots more".
He promised to replicate the initiative across the 192 wards in Edo State with greater numbers if nominated and elected as governor, adding that he has no doubt that tthe people are creative if only the government summon up political will to give them the necessary support for them to express their creativity and potentials.
Continuing, he said a healthy society is a productive society, adding that there is nothing anyone can do in the absence of good health. "Therefore, as part of our venture of hope movement, qualitative health care delivery for Edo people shall be a priority if nominated and elected.
Dekeri also said that the importance of agriculture and food security to man cannot be over emphasised. He said food is a key sustenance for life. "We shall be very deliberate and strategic in our agricultural policy formulation and implementation.
"Providing infrastructure such as roads, hospitals, schools,water and electricity for the economic development of our state and the well-being of its people is not rocket science. it is the basic for any government at whatever level".
On industrialization he said concious of the strategic importance of industrialization to employment generation and economic development, he promised to give special priority to the industrialization of Edo State through Public private partnership arrangement.
