The Executive Chairman of Etsako East local government area, Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi has asked the people of the council area to renew their faith in God, even as her administration remains committed to engendering peace, safety and better living.

This was contained in her Easter message to the people in which she stated that "While this year's Easter is being observed in an atmosphere of health concerns because of coronavirus, the lessons of Easter as embodied by Jesus Christ must not be lost on us.

"Even in the face of imminent arrest, Jesus Christ admonished his disciples to keep the peace, 'Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.' And after being crucified for unjust reasons, Jesus asked for forgiveness for those who crucified him, saying 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do'."

Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi advised the people of Etsako East to use the opportunity offered by the Easter festivities to forgive one another and promote peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.

"Nothing best stimulates progress and development in any given society than peace," the Executive Chairman stated.

"As my administration in conjunction with the vibrant Edo state government under the able leadership of our Governor, His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki take concrete steps to curtail the spread of coronavirus in the state and ameliorate the hardship facing the people on account of the pandemic, it is expedient that we continue to observe the covid-19 guidelines - social distancing, regular washing of your hands with soap and water, rubbing your hands with sanitizer, coughing and sneezing into your elbow and regular drinking of water."

"I wish you all, my dear people of Etsako East local government area a blissful observance of Easter," Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi concluded.

  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...
