Thursday December 14, 2023
BENIN – African Green Peace Initiative (AGPI), a non governmental organization, led by Dr Uzoya Okuogbosun has called on the All Progressives Congress to give its gubernatorial ticket for the 2024 elections in the state to Professor Oserheimen Osunbor because he has the vision to redeem the state.
Addressing members of the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists at its secretariat along Ogbelaka Street in Benin City, Dr Okuogbosun who is the President of the organization said, “It is going to take a human and visionary personality like His Excellency Professor Oserheimen Osunbor to redeem Edo state from the current decay, hopelessness and deadly existence”.
Comparing Osunbor to former Governor of the defunct Bendel State, Professor Ambrose Alli, he said the gubernatorial aspirant is, “a devout Christian”, “a God fearing and self-effacing leader who is an embodiment of knowledge in every sphere of life, including intellectual, humanity and altruism “.
According to the AGPI President, during the period Osunbor served as governor before he was ousted by the Court he was able to demonstrate and emphasized that administration and governance of any society is for the upliftment of the human race.
“These Virtues were exemplified by him when as Executive Governor of Edo state for the short period of his administration increased the monthly subvention payable to the State owned Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma and other tertiary institutions in the State.
“He created a credit system whereby public officers and civil servants were able to access loans for agricultural purposes and in his compassionate nature he thought it wise to pay bursary to Edo students in tertiary institutions across the country”.
Dr Okuogbosun further noted that Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor as governor, had a visionary leadership style which saw him embarked on massive infrastructure development of the State, describing him as the one sent to take Edo to the New age like the sage late Professor Ambrose Alli.
