He assured them that the governor’s programmes are all-encompassing and address the developmental needs of everyone in the state, regardless of their origin.

Leader of the group, Engr. Clement, said, “We are happy to identify with the Obaseki-led administration for his achievements in the last few years. We are non-indigenes residing in the state. We live in different communities and participate actively in politics in the state.”

“We see all the projects the government has embarked upon which have touched the lives of Edo people positively. These projects are visible for all to see. Projects like the construction of roads, schools, blocks in the Secretariat Complex and the prompt payment of workers’ salaries are commendable.
