EDO AND THE QUESTION OF PROGRESS

Every human being desires progress. Sometimes, the desire is an individual one. At other times, it is collective, and when it is collective it is of a coalition of people with shared hopes and future.

And so, as the wind of change makes its rounds in the political space of Edo state, the collective hope and aspiration of every Edolite is for A LEADER who can manifest the common hope for a better life for all in the state. 

The Progressive Fate of the state come 2016 will depend on the candidate who is able to effectively appeal to the simple, mundane and everyday concerns of the electorate. The present intense desire of the people for a better deal from governance will cause a vote for a PROGRESSIVE PERSONALITY, and fortunately one amongst the lot of aspirants stands out to meet this desire.

A closer look at ENGR. CHRIS OSA OGIEMWONYI career in the civil service will reveal that he is well placed nationally and internationally to provide a purpose-driven leadership, if elected as the No.1 Citizen of Edo State. The long list of his accomplishments had become a testimony to the good judgment of all who had interacted with him. Under him, the various portfolios he managed in his 30-plus years of service in the NNPC all witnessed exceptional growth, these are verifiable facts.

As a philanthropist, he has invested heavily in skills and manpower development of youths in his indigent community and beyond, by providing access to ICT training, and also galvanized job creation in a mega palm plantation that had empowered many families. The scholarship programme of the Chris Ogiemwonyi Foundation, for bright but underprivileged students, stand as a testimonial of his good intent for his fellow man over the years. 

Clearly Engr. Chris Osa Ogiemwonyi can bring his 34 years experience in management and administration to the service of the people of EDO STATE. He is more that qualified to fulfil the yearnings and expectations of EDOLITES for progress. He is highly regarded within the Oil & Gas industry as well as the Power sector, as a leading authority in corporate governance and related matters. That is why EDOLITES will do well to ensure that the person who occupies the government house in Benin City as Governor is one with the relevant training and vast experience (not a local champion), to manage the resources of the state and utilize them in the best interest of the people. The Person of ENGR. CHRIS OSA OGIEMWONYI is one that will in these times of lean resources from the federal purse, not increase the yoke and burden of the people, but with mastery and expertise in management lead to the actualizing of OUR COMMON DREAM.
