Afegbua Laments Education In Edo  Is In Desperate Need 

Iduozee Efe Paul, Benin

Media Consultant to the APC Governorship Campaign Council,Prince Kassim Afegbua, has lamented that, education in Edo State is in desperate need of qualitative intervention.

Prince Kassim Afegbua, also
posited that "EdoBest is actually EdoWorst," that no new teachers are available to be recruited in such an atmosphere of depleting workforce, as we have in the State.

 Afegbua made the statements in a press conference at the NUJ press center, Benin City, Edo State, said with the failure of governor Godwin Obaseki for the past seven and half years, Edo  citizens are wallowing in abject poverty.


He said Senator Okpebholo is a man who possesses subliminal humility to engage with all Edo people of all stations of life.



  Afegbua  explained that Okpebholo has a deep knowledge of the state, in terms of geography and peculiar challenges, and predicaments and also possesses quality general knowledge and broad contacts to attract fitting solutions to the problems across the state.

He further asserted that Senator Okpebholo is a man with emotional intelligence to which has enriched him with meek patience in dealing with fellow humans; from a humble beginning, he  struggled to break the glass ceiling to make the success which he is today in life. 

The former Edo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation said: “It is a message of hope because, A NEW EDO IS RISING: Edo is rising from the ashes of the present dismal performance of the PDP in the state."

"As a government and party, God willing, we are going to immediately overhaul five critical areas of our socio-economic stance which we see, need urgent attention.

“Security architecture will be overhauled to mitigate the present insecurity situation in the state. Edo State has been badly run in the last eight years; this does not need to be over-emphasized. The ruins and their relics are ubiquitous.


He stressed: “As the people of the heartbeat of the nation, we know that Edo people are very peaceful and resilient; they have built and shown character over the last few years. Edo people have tolerated more that enough.

“We know that our people are desirous of new lease of life for our dear state, and we feel happy that the time has now come; we are now on the cursp of happiness and progress again in this state. 

"We the members of the APC, are harbingers of good tidings; our candidate’s success in this race will never bear regret from anyone, covertly or overtly.”


Emphasizing that Senator Okpebholo is a simple man by nature; a man with grit and vision, a community builder, who has invested in the development of his people, urged Edo people to decline and distance yourselves from anybody and anything that has anything to do with Governor Obaseki.


According to him, “The only dividends of his government are: flooding, environmental degradation and pollution, and craftiness; with Obaseki, lies can build a duplex. Those are the things he will teach his godson to do. Be wary of them and save our state.

“All the failed promises stare us in the face. Sobe Farms failed. 18 stadia promised in 18 local govts failed. Gelegele Port failed. Auchi Airport, failed. 200,000 Edo jobs failed. 

"We can go on and on. The litany of failed promises and projects is the reason the governor is now called GOVERNOR MoU.

“While Edo is getting poorer by the day, with a new debt profile of N539B, Governor Obaseki is getting richer by the hour. We must resist the temptation of bringing a successor that will cover his tracks and perpetuate his style. Edo’s stolen money must be recovered to the last kobo," he added.
