GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State says he will continue to accord respect to former governor of old Bendel State, Dr Samuel Ogbemudia, saying he is a leader who is sincerely worried about the future of the state.

He disclosed this, yesterday, in Benin-City while commissioning the new six lane New Lagos Road and the Ewohimi Hospital in Esan South East of Edo State. According to him, “when I spend nine minutes with Dr Ogbemudia, all I keep hearing from him is advice on how to move Edo State to the next level”.

The governor said, however, that he would not disappoint the two-time former governor of the old Bendel State, adding that his administration would continue its developmental strides across the three senatorial districts of the state despite “the mischief of the opposition PDP in the state who never want anything good for our people”.

Oshiomhole further explained that national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was carefully chosen for the commissioning of the projects due to his achievements in Lagos and as a leader of the opposition party in the country.
