Osunbor’s kinsmen laud Oshiomhole

Kinsmen of Professor Oserheimen Osunbor, a gubernatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, have given kudos to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for solving the seeming intractable water problem in their community.

The people of Iruekpen Community on a thank you visit to the Governor and led by Mr. Ernest Okhiria said “we would like to express our sincere gratitude to your government for extending the dividends of democracy across the state and by way of reconstructing our Central Primary School and equipping it for 21st Century learning.

“In a special way, we would also like to say thank you for extending the services of water supply to our community. The history of water problems dates back to close to about forty years.

“As a community, we tried to sink a borehole which did not yield any result. But with your wisdom you have surpassed all other efforts to meet the needs of over 20,000 inhabitants of Iruekpen community”, he added.
Mr. Okhiria said “we want again to express our commendation for the high impact development your government is implementing in Edo State. We hereby pledge our unalloyed loyalty to your government like other communities that have benefitted from your state wide developmental efforts.”

Responding, Governor Adams Oshiomhole said “we will continue to do our best to improve the lives of the people. We are determined to ensure that every community in the state feels the impact of governance.”
Oshiomhole acknowledged, “I know that water is the most challenging thing in Esan Land. And it was clear that many boreholes that were sunk in the past never really worked.”

Oshiomhole lamented that most of the time the people were deceived, adding that where they cannot find water they use tankers to fill the overhead tanks.
“Given the population of the community you need additional borehole. I agree that one borehole cannot serve over twenty thousand people. We will include the borehole and renovation of the secondary school in our agenda”, he said.

The Governor disclosed that government has placed order for an additional rig, so that each senatorial district can have one rig dedicated to the needs of the region.
