#WHY OWAN AND AKOKO-EDO MUST STAND TOGETHER FOR UMAKHIHE IN THE EDO GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION
For decades, the vibrant cultures and fertile lands of Owan and Akoko-Edo have stood in stark contrast to the neglect they've endured. For over five decades, the cries for development have echoed through valleys and whispered over hills, only to be met by silence. But now, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe, and it's our collective responsibility, as sons and daughters of Owan and Akoko-Edo, to unite and propel him towards the Edo State Governorship
Our ancestral lands bear the
scars of marginalization. Crumbling roads snake through our towns, mocking the
idea of progress. Education, the key to unlocking potential, remains a distant
dream for many, with the absence of state or federal higher institutions within
our borders. The grip of poverty tightens with each passing day, its shadow
reaching into every corner of our communities.
For too long, we've watched from
the sidelines as other regions flourish. We've been offered empty promises and
fleeting platitudes, left to contend with the harsh realities of
underdevelopment. But this cycle of neglect must end. This time, we have a son
of the soil, a man who carries the hopes and aspirations of Owan and Akoko-Edo
in his heart – Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe.
His credentials speak volumes. A
man of unblemished character, Dr. Umakhihe boasts a distinguished career in
public service, rising to the esteemed position of Permanent Secretary in the
Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. His expertise in
economic development, honed through years of navigating complex national
challenges, is precisely what our regions crave.
He understands the pain of
neglect, the sting of broken promises. He has walked the dusty paths of our
villages, listened to the whispers of disillusionment and the yearning for a
brighter future. His vision for Owan and Akoko-Edo isn't merely a campaign
slogan; it's a map to a promised land etched with vibrant communities, thriving
businesses, and empowered youth.
His plans encompass the very
pillars upon which sustainable growth rests. Education will be revitalized,
with accessible higher institutions bringing knowledge and opportunity to our
doorstep. Agriculture, the lifeblood of our communities, will be transformed
through modern practices and improved infrastructure. Healthcare will be
extended to the remotest corners, ensuring well-being for all.
But Dr. Umakhihe's candidacy is
not just about policy; it's about representation. It's about having a voice at
the highest table, a voice that resonates with the unique challenges and
aspirations of Owan and Akoko-Edo. It's about breaking the chains of
marginalization and reclaiming our rightful place in the tapestry of Edo State.
This is our moment, a historic
opportunity to rewrite the narrative, to forge a future where our children
inherit not the shackles of neglect, but the keys to prosperity. Our unity, our
unwavering support for Dr. Umakhihe, is the catalyst we need to turn this dream
into reality.
Let us come together, Owan and Akoko-Edo, as one formidable force. Let us rise like the Oba River, surging with collective will, and sweep away the debris of neglect. Let us stand shoulder-to-shoulder, our voices forming a powerful chorus that echoes throughout the land: "Umakhihe, Umakhihe, our time has come!"
Forget the divisions, the political rhetoric that seeks to fragment our resolve. Remember the ancestral bond that ties us together, the shared struggles and aspirations that define our identity. In Dr. Umakhihe, we have a champion, a symbol of our collective strength. Let us unleash that strength, not just on polling day, but in every conversation, every campaign trail, every corner of our communities.
This is not about a single man; it's about the future of Owan and Akoko-Edo. It's about claiming our rightful place in the sun, about etching our dreams into the granite of progress. Let us stand together, united in purpose, and usher in a new era of prosperity, a legacy built on the bedrock of our unwavering support for Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe, the governor Edo State deserved.
