Extend constituency projects to Akoko-Edo, youths tell Oshiomhole
Youths from Akoko-Edo Local Government Area have called on Senator Adams Oshiomhole to extend constituency projects to all parts of Edo North Senatorial District.
Oshiomhole, a former Edo State governor, represents Edo North in the Senate.
The youths told Oshiomhole that Akoko-Edo needs to feel his infrastructure just like he had done in the Etsako axis of the district.
In a letter to Oshiomhole and signed by Paul Lawani, an architect, the youth commended Oshiomhole for being outspoken at the National Assembly on national issues.
The youth said: “You have been a representative every community wishes to have and we maintain that we will not hesitate to swap you with 20 of our own politicians if the Etsako people would release you to us.
“Time and events had passed and now you are the incumbent senator representing Akoko-Edo. It is true that representation comes in different forms especially to people like Akoko-Edo whose immediate needs are enormous.’’
“However, beyond being vocal on our behalf, your Excellency, your physical presence will do us a lot of good.
“Your influence on Akoko-Edo political terrain cannot be overemphasized and in the coming days, we hope that you play a key role in helping Akoko-Edo make good choices of representatives both at the state and federal level. The choices that will prioritize development of the land and the people above any other interests just as you have done to Etsako over the years.
“Two years is still very much an ample time enough to do a lot and as the father of Edo North, Akoko-Edo seeks to feel your physical presence just the way Etsako is feeling it positively.”
