High Chief Robert Okoinemen, aka Oduma of the Universe, the Chairman, Edo City Transport Services, ECTS, in his Christmas greetings to the people of Edo State, has commended the governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, for this year's peaceful Christmas celebration, saying; "...it has been a long time that Edo state, celebrated a peaceful Christmas devoid of cult clashes, killings and blood baths".
Speaking in a viral video, in his Christmas greetings to the people of Edo State, High Chief Okoinemen, who described Edo state governor as "a God sent governor", to rescue Edo state, added that; "...the Bible says, when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.... I want to congratulate my governor. Your Excellency, you are doing well. This is why the people are rejoicing that you are in power. It is not by mistake".
Also in this message to Mr. Godwin Obaseki, the former governor of Edo State, Chief Okoinemen reminded the former governor of how his vehicle was stucked in the then bad road to Uzea, in Esan North East local government area, as people in Uromi waited for over four hours to receive him and he, Obasaki, promised the community to help fix the road, but never showed up nor fulfill his promise to the people till his tenure ended. "But please visit Uzea today, within the first 90 days of our governor in office he turned things around".
"Visit Uzea Palace, you can now drive from Uromi, with your eyes closed; stop comparing yourself with Akpakorescue the difference is clear. That is the name of Seven up". Chief Oduma said.
Also in the video, Chief Okoinemen also condemned Mr. Obaseki for failing to show up during the swearing in ceremony of Governor Monday Okpebholo, but rather, arranged for some people to formet troubles with the aim of painting Okpebholo's administration in bad light and tagging it as a failed administration.
Finally, speaking in Esan language, Chief Okoinemen said, he came to Esan Land this Christmas to have a first-hand experience of how the Yuletide will be like, and he was pleasantly surprise to discover that this year's Christmas is one of the kind as a result of the different goodies dished out by governor Monday Okpebholo.
