Governor Adams Aliu Oshoimhole; Who Can Fit into His Shoes?

Some of the Projects In Edo State.
A man with great prospect and ambition for his State; one who is so dogmatic and sticks to what he believe is right to move Edo State forward, despite the negative effect it can cause to his administration. A man that is so Vibrant and full of energy; so concerned and monitors all his project himself to gain a first hand impression that these projects are well executed and done to standard.        
I believe he has set up a standard that the next Governor of the State will have to live up to and a record the future one will really have to work hard to break in terms of his achievements. He has transformed Benin city from an ancient City to a Modern one,  built a World class hospital which he has tagged his "Signature Project" (just watch out for that when fully completed), turned Upper Siluko Road commonly referred to as "Water Side or See Morocco see Spain" to a dual Carriage-way with Street lights , wide drains with pedestrian walk-ways, the Queen Ede gully erosion site just to mention a few. He is still working hard to complete ongoing Projects and start new ones across the state.                            

However, I think he really needs to make a comprehensive list of all his ongoing and completed projects and the amount involved so as to put his critics to shame; those who believes he has received so much money through Federal allocations, IGR and loans compared to the works he has done, and that most of his projects have been overpriced. I am of the opinion that it should be a plus and worth commending to his government for been able to raise the States IGR from 300 Million to above 2 Billion Naira , and for the world bank loan. Its a great privilege for Edo state to gain such rare access to loans with very low interest rate  at 1.25% compared to loans other states get from commercial banks with interest rate as high as 14 to 19%. It will enhance private sector development, improve facilities for increased IGR in the state and increase private investment and employment opportunities.                        

So my good people of Edo State, please stay calm and appreciate the good works of this Great Man, "Comrade Governor" and watch out for 2016 to see all the Caterpillars doing the campaign across the 18 Local Government Area of the state......!!!
