The Executive Chairman of Etsako East local government area, Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi has been commended by Imiegba Urualo Development Union (I.U.D.U.) for her developmental strides since she mounted the saddle of leadership in the council area.

The Union at its annual conference held on December 26, 2020, at Imiegba, reviewed governance in the local government area and resolved that the Etsako East helmswoman was positively touching the lives of the people through deliberate execution of projects that are impacting on the masses.

The Union delegates therefore unanimously agreed to write a commendation letter to her in which they thanked her on behalf of the people of Imiegba for projects she has so far done in the community to improve the lives of the people. Such projects include but not restricted to a borehole for the community to relieve the women of the arduous task of daily climbing hills to fetch water from streams located in difficult terrains in the bushes; and the allocation of an executive tricycle ambulance to the Primary Health Center at Imiegba, which has further improved speeding dispensation of health services to the people.

The commendation letter was delivered to her in her residence at Okpekpe by a delegation led by the National President of the Union, Hon. Adamu Umoru - a former Chairman of NULGE, Etsako East chapter.

Other members of the delegation were Alhaji Ayuba Edelefo, secretary, Board of Trustees and former Secretary General of the Union; Alhaji Blessing Imhador, Regional President of the Union, Southern states and Ward 9 Leader of PDP; Hon. Salim Afoso, Supervisory Councillor, Works, Etsako East local government area.

The delegation also included Comrade Sule Ekhayemhe, Chairman of Kano Branch of the Union; Comrade Afeakhena Egbakhumhe, the Financial Secretary of the Union; Mr Abdulrafiu Yakubu, PRO of the Union and Mahmood Okhumhoya

Speaking during the coutesy visit, Alhaji Imhador stated that the works of Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi stand her out and assured her that Ward 9 in which he is the leader has endorsed her for the position of chairman in the forthcoming local government election whenever the state government gives the green light.

"Our Executive Chairman, I want to assure you that given your excellent performance so far, Ward 9 is solidly behind you whenever the state government decides to conduct the council election in the state," Alhaji Imhador stated.

In like manner, Alhaji Ayuba Edelefo said those of them in the cities were set to transfer their voter's cards to their local government so as to be able to come down to not only mobilise the people to vote enmass for her but also that they would be able to exercise their franchise during the election.

"Be rest assured that we are going to mobilise heavily to come down during the forthcoming local government election to vote you into office as a full-fledged Executive Chairman of the local government area to continue the good work you are doing presently," Alhaji Edelefo declared.

Comrade Sule Ekhayemhe told the Executive Chairman that there was "no alternative to" her.

The delegation also declared their support for Hon. Salim Afoso as councillorship candidate for Ward 9 in the upcoming 2021 council election.

Responding, Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi thanked the delegation for their visit and the commendation letter appreciating her humble contribution to the development of Etsako East local government area.

"What you have just done with this commendation letter is to re-energise me and inspire me to work harder for the people for whom governance is meant," the Executive Chairman said.

"Despite the downturn of the economy brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, we shall continue to strive to improve on services as you have honoured me today.

"I promise not to disappoint the entire people of Etsako East local government area because of the implicit confidence they have in me."

  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
