The Executive Chairman of Etsako East local government area, Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi, has assured the members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with Governor Godwin Obaseki as its candidate, that the Party will win the forthcoming governorship election overwhelmingly by God's grace.
She stated this over the weekend in Agenebode during the inauguration of the party's 39-member Etsako East Campaign Council headed by Hon. Abass Jega.

"I believe in God that we are going to win overwhelmingly. The APC numerous surveys have confirmed this. It is their own survey. It was not conducted by PDP," she said.
The Council Boss lamented that APC members realising that they were facing imminent and inevitable defeat come September 19, 2020, were resorting to violence against PDP members.
"We have heard from the leaders of the party. What is left for me to add on behalf of the local government is to say that as far as I am concerned, this project has the finger of God but members of the APC have resorted to violence. If you know you have the people; if you know you can win on the basis of popularity, why fighting?," the Executive Chairman asked.
"Over the weekend, they attacked the Secretary to the Local Government (SLG) in Okpella, Ward 8. They attacked him. They destroyed his vehicle and many other vehicles. They beat up women. They attacked people. I have the photographs.
"In my Ward last week, they almost severed the palm of one PDP youth. So, this has been happening. Another PDP youth in my ward was also stabbed a couple of weeks ago - all perpetrated by the APC boys."
However, Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi advised the PDP members to resist all forms of provocation as the game plan of APC is to disrupt the governship election.
"Please, I want to urge you not to give them the opportunity to scramble the votes that we have. That is their plan - destroy their (PDP's) votes," she admonished.
"What we all need to do now is to go back home and begin to canvass, whether you are a party leader or not, as far as you belong to the PDP; as far as you are sympathetic to the cause of Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shaibu; as long as you have decided to stand with them, it is now left for you to go home an begin to canvass."
L-R:Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi, Executive Chairman, Etsako East local government area; Hon. Vincent Ekpomoriri, PDP Chairman, Etsako East; Hon. Abass Jega, Party Leader and Chairman of the Campaign Council; Hon. Moses Agbukor, Edo State Commissioner for Water Resources

The local government party Chairman, Hon. Vincent Ekpomoriri had earlier stated in his remarks that "Our main aim of coming together today is to remind ourselves that we have an assignment. And that assignment is very dear to our hearts and we have to execute that assignment with all commitments and concerns as it has to do with the delivery of Godwin Obaseki/Philip Shaibu to Osadebe Avenue."
The Chairman of the Campaign Council, Hon. Abass Jega in his remarks said "We are accepting this responsibility with all our hearts and by the grace of God, we are going to discharge this onerous responsibility with all that it takes to do so.
"We will ensure that on the 19th of September, Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shaibu will be reelected to Government House."
Hon. Moses Agbukor, Commissioner for Water Resources told the gathering that the campaign is good to go, saying "We are not asked to insult people; we are not asked to victimise people; we are not asked to terrorise people; we are asked to tell people that between the two candidates, one is light and the other one is darkness.

"Governor Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shaibu are the light that is taking Edo state forward."

  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
