Sen. Francis Alimikhena

A former member of the Nigeria's House of Representatives, Hon. Abubakar Momoh, who
recently emerged as the PDP Senatorial Candidate, Edo North District, has challenged the incumbent Senator representing the district at the National Assembly,  Senator Francis Alimikhena, to a debate ahead of the 2019 National Assembly elections.

Hon. Aubakar Momoh threw the challenge during his acceptance speech shortly after his emergence as the PDP Senatorial Candidate.

Hon. Abubakar Momoh, who emerged as the party's consensus senatorial candidate, accused Senator Alimikhena of poor performance in office and discrimination against the Owans and Akoko-Edos in the senatorial district.

“The debate will provide a platform for Senator Alimikhena to present his scorecard to the constituents while I will also provide my scorecard as a former member of the House of Representatives representing Etsako Federal constituency and my blueprints for the senatorial district if
elected," the former law maker said.

Similarly, the PDP senatorial candidate, who was a two-term member of the House of Representatives said Senator Alimikhena won the 2015 Senatorial election courtesy of former Governor of Edo State and presently the National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole's Political Oxygen. The oxygen,
he claimed, “has been exhausted, dried and no longer relevant in Edo North politics.”

Hon. Abubakar Momoh, who was also full of praises for the leaders of the party in Edo North which include the Edo State Chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih and Chief Mike Ogiadomhe for their significant
roles in the resurgence of PDP in Edo North, said, "We are now in a position of strength and there is no better time to show our strength than in the 2019 general elections.”

Hon. Momoh also said apart from sponsoring of seven bills and moving ten motions which directly affect the lives of the constituents during his time in the National Assembly, he similarly enumerated some of the projects he facilitated and executed, to include the extension of electricity to various communities and the purchase and installation of not less than 20 transformers across Etsako Federal constituency, facilitating the construction of a Pedestrian bridge at the Auchi Polytechnic Auchi main gate to reduce the accident mortality rate among the students
along the busy Abuja-Auchi highway; creation of job opportunities for constituents, among others.

He promised to redouble his efforts to ensure adequate and effective representation of the district's varied interests in Abuja, if elected into the senate.

  By Suleiman Ugbokhe Pa Akubo Yakubu Esuka, the Ódegbé of Imiegba Imiegba Community, Three Ivie Clan in Etsako East local government area was in a celebration mode on Sunday, December 27, 2020, when the indigenes both home and abroad joined the children of Pa Akubo Yakubu Esuka to celebrate his enthronement as the Ódegbé of Imiegba. Pa. Akubo Yakubu Esuka was born to the family of Mr. Esuka and Madam Ogenikho about 104 years ago in Imiegba. In his quest for a better life, he left his birth place, Imiegba, in 1944, with his maternal uncle, Pa Etsekhumhe Ogweli for Minna where he did manial jobs for some time before he left for Kaduna with a single mission: To join the army. But it turned out to be mission impossible as Pa Akubo was not accepted into the army "for reasons I don't know," he says. "I then proceeded to Kano from Kaduna with the hope of securing a job. I was still not able to get a job." As the saying goes, 'no place like home,' Pa Akubo had ...

One Year After ... Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi Remains The Toast Of Etsako East People

By Suleiman Ugbokhe Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi, Former Executive Chairman, Etsako East Local Government Area It is one year now since Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi left office as the Executive Chairman of Etsako East local government area, a position she stepped into when the then helmsman, Aremiyau Momoh (Mbakwe), under whom she was the vice chairman, was removed from office by the state government two years into the three-year tenure. On assuming office as Executive Chairman, Princess Benedicta left no one in doubt that she was coming into office to serve the people of Etsako East local government area, and not to canonise, imperialise herself as was the case before her. One of the first things she did to demonstrate her people-oriented policy was the purchase and installation of a transformer at Awuyemi (Ward 5), to end years of darkness in that part of Okpella. It is very easy to gloss over this achievement but when the socioeconomic ripple effects of restoring power supply t...
