ABBAS ABUBAKAR IKHEIGBE: TIME TO PUNDER














ABBAS ABUBAKAR IKHEIGBE: TIME TO PUNDER

By Michael Udukhokhe 

At a particular point in the chequered history of a people, nature throws up certain individuals who act as catalysts to bring about the desired change.

The advent of such great characters are almost always a needed solution that often takes a whole long circle to repeat itself again.

Dr Abbas Abubakar Ikheigbe is such a phenomenal occurrence in the political landscape of Etsako-West at such a time as this, the reason why his aspirations must be taken seriously to put our dear LGA on the road to greatness.

Here is a selfless, experienced and unassuming grassroots democratic who has offered himself to the service of his beloved people. It is our onerous opportunity to grab an untainted workaholic, administrator of many years and a thorough bred scholar to steer the ship of state to its desired shores.

For a man who's always in touch with his people and who at various times helped to provide employment to every Etsako youth that comes across him, right from his National Youth Service Years with Setraco construction LTD, such a person must be taken more seriously.

Dr Abbas is not a novice or neophyte in Edo state politics. He has always been instrumental to the success of the APC both locally and nationally, 

His ideas and slogan of "Walking The Work"  is a reflection of governance without rhetoric and deception. It's an ideology of change and the renewed agenda for the dawn of community development in our LG.

His idea of providing scholarships for gifted but indigent students across the council is unique. His call for Agricultural Reawakening and extension services for our farmers are unique and top-notch. His revitalisation and renewal of community markets to ensure adequate and hygienic spaces to drive the economic activities of the informal sector is a novel thought.

Dr Abbas Abubakar Ikheigbe is a man of ideas who is in a hurry to bring change and development to his people. He's humble quiet, resolute, dependable, educated and thus can be trusted. This is a time to punder!
