Akpakomiza's Calm Nature, Speaks Volume
...sends the right signals

People that talk less, but do more, I respect greatly. Those that talk more and do nothing, I totally disdain. However, those that don't talk much, but end up in speaking their minds by their actions, are great leaders.
In view of the above, people of Edo State would have noticed that, in the past close to eight years now, Edo State have had a talking governor, who has been verbally active, but practically passive. Wait a minute please; before you condemn my opinion, please read on....
It will be recalled that, Mr. Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, promised to turn Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, to a World Class University; I was one of the then gullible people that, out of joy, experienced a 'premature erection' when he made that promise, but, Alas! Na audio.
Many people in Edo North were elated when the governor promised them that an airport will be sited in Edo North; that was years back, but as I write, Edo North people are yet to see the light of day with respect to the promised airport.

The visible passion and enthusiasm behind that statement, left me in no doubt as to the NEW ERA Edo state will experience under the current Senator, (and soon to be) Governor Monday Okpebholo.
