Due process, practical governance, Edo focused, love for fairness, justice and accountability, are qualities that the current Chairman, Esan Central Local Government, ECLG, area is aboundantly loaded with. Those that occupied the position before him, are not this blessed with such qualities that are required of a Chairman that occupies that position.
