Activist lauds Edo gov on road construction


The founder of One Love Foundation, Mr Patrick Eholor, has commended Governor  Godwin Obaseki of Edo state for road construction and reforms in various sectors of the state.

Eholor, who gave the commendation in Benin Sunday said he was impressed with the level of development in Edo since Obaseki came on board.

“From the little I have seen that Obaseki has done and is doing, he has achieved a lot,’’ Eholor, who is also a Benin-based social critic.

He also praised the governor for restraining the activities of those he termed ‘professional politicians’.

“I can tell you Obaseki is doing well. If he can restrain the politicians and ask them to go and do something to earn a living, he has done a great thing. Politics is service not a profession.

“With the roads being constructed by Obaseki and the guts to restrain professional politicians, a lot of people are pleased with him.

‘‘The idea of touting is over. You do not see people insulting market women again,’’ he added.
