Some residents in Benin, Edo state capital, had some kinds words to say about Governor Adams Oshiomhole, but they also had an advice for him
One of the residents of Upper Lawani Street, Felix Irorere said: “I am praying for you because when you came, you did not meet anything on ground. You have laboured so much, let nobody destroy your work. Make sure that whether people talk or not, make sure you chose somebody who will be able to take after you and not undo what you have done.
“Don’t be ashamed or afraid, don’t look at their faces, make sure the right person comes in. You will live long.”

Another resident, Eunice Obazee said: “We are very happy to see that Oshiomhole is working on the road. Now we can transport ourselves from here to New Benin. This road was very bad before now, you couldn’t pass through Uwa Street to New Market and vehicles coming stops half way but now, the road is in good shape. We will support and vote for whosoever he brings out to succeed him.
Goodness Akudike also had some nice words to say to Governor Oshiomhole. She said: “He has done so well for us because many governments abandoned this road for years. He is the only person that understands and remembered this road, so I am very grateful, I love him so much and I thank him.”
Also speaking, Ikponwosa Ohenhen said: “I really appreciate him, he has done well. At least, in his time, there is proof of leadership in this state. This road was not good before now, even getting to Uwa Street was impossible. Even rebuilding Uwa Street to St Joseph alone is very okay by me.”
Another resident of the area, Lucy Arewan said: “This road was very bad before, no vehicle could pass through this area before, it was that bad. God will continue to bless Oshiomhole for us and continue to reward him for us. Oshiobaba really tried for us and we appreciate him,”
On his part, Lucky Imasuen, a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress and former deputy governor of Edo state said: “I have seen things for myself, this is unbelievable. While state governors are struggling on how to pay their workers and pensioners, not only are pensioners and workers being paid in Edo state, this man is moving the impossible.”
“I have gone around with him to Upper Mission, Upper Lawani and 2nd East Circular, I have gone on my own to Teachers House and its environs and the man is doing wonderfully well.
“It is good to criticize, I have no objection about that. Opposition is healthy for our democracy but when you criticize, you must do so constructively. That way, when you do criticize, people can then take you seriously. This man is doing magic and personally, I am blown away and it is my hope and prayers that God continue to bless him and give him the wisdom and the ability to continue this wonderful job he started few years ago.
“I am appealing to all Edo people irrespective of your political affiliations to come on board, come and see what he is doing, thank him for what he is doing so we can continue our movement.”
Governor Adams Oshiomhole had broken his silence over his position on the choice of his successor in January, last month.
He told members of the APC drawn from the three senatorial districts of the state that while he would ensure there are primaries, he, would not be indifferent to the choice of his successor from the lot that are jostling for the party’s gubernatorial ticket.
“There would be primaries according to our constitution but I cannot be neutral in matters that affect my environment,” he said.
