Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe, the former permanent secretary in the ministry of Agriculture and ruler development, as well as a leading frontline Edo APC Governorship Aspirant, today visited Esan Central APC Leaders as part of his ongoing visits to various local governments.
During his visit, Dr. Umakhihe expressed his strong connection to Igueben, stating that it is like a second home to him. He went on to highlight his extensive experience and accomplishments in various leadership positions, including his nomination by President Muhammed Buhari as permanent secretary and his construction of several roads across the 3 Senatorial districts.
The state of the Benin Auchi road and other federal roads in Edo is a major concern for our people. I have plans to fix these roads if i become Governor. Improved infrastructure, such as schools, roads, health centers, and security, is crucial for the progress and wellbeing of our state. Additionally, I will focus on mechanized and irrigated agriculture will greatly benefit our farmers and promote all-year-round farming.
