Blessed Ighiwiyisi, charged members of the Uteh community who trooped out in large number, to support the PDP Candidates ahead the September poll, Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie.
Speaking at the campaign rally, a former Member of the Edo State House of Assembly, Ikpoba-Okha constituency, Hon. Henry Okhuarobo, commended the teeming members of Ward 2 for the large turnout, with an assurance of accelerated development, particularly the rehabilitation of earth roads around the Oregbeni community.
The Oregbeni community members commended the Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Chairman for the massive grading and sand-filling of major earth roads in their area, they declared continuous support for the Osayande-led administration.
“I assure you that if you support Asue-Ogie to government house this year, more good things will come to your community”, Osayande added; he narrated how about two transformers have been donated to the community in his administration, with the most recent, being a 500KVA transformer donated to Akenuwa residents for improved electricity power supply; he revealed that an additional transformer have been earmarked for the Ward.
The Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Chairman went further to itemize various developmental initiatives his administration has embarked on in Oregbeni, including the construction and expansion of the Oregbeni market and frequent evacuation of wastes in the area.

Meanwhile, the Ikpoba-Okha local government Chairman, has directed another round of his market money programme in Oregbeni market, where about one hundred market women will benefit.
The market women who turned out in large number, were seen singing and dancing to the amazement of the visiting campaign team, further solidifying their unwavering support for Asue-Ogie.
Moving from the community town hall, the campaign council was seen moving from one market store to another, a move that saw to more women trooping out in solidarity and support, ahead September 21; they hailed the campaign council for visiting their stores individually, noting that their areas are secured for PDP/Asue-Ogie.
It was funfair as men, women, and youths took to the streets to preach the “pathway to prosperity” of the Asue-Ogie campaign train.
The Arewa and Igbo communities also featured prominently, with strong assurances to rally behind the Asue-Ogie candidacy.
The hundreds of elders, women and youths who were present at the meeting on Wednesday declared supportive mandate for PDP/Asue-Ogie, as the September guber poll fast-approaches.
