Chief Evukugbere who called on other PDP well to dos in the ward to emulate the gesture of Chief Adehor,  charged beneficiaries of the empowerment programme to make  good use of the monies.

A beneficiary and PDP youth in the ward, John Oborume, commended Chief Adehor as he noted that other highly placed PDP members of Okpara Inland who are better in positions have made unfulfilled promises on empowerment programmes to party members in the ward.He therefore described Chief Adehor as a grassroots politician, who has the interest of the people at heart.
