The governorship candidate of the All
Progressives Congress in Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has said he will
produce 100 millionaires in the state in four years, if elected as
governor.
Obaseki, who spoke on Monday during an
interactive session with a group, Grassroots Youth Initiative, in the
Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, explained that with the presence of
natural resources, the residents had no reason to be poor.
He said, “God has blessed us in Edo. No
state is like Edo. We do not have any reason to be poor; the only reason
why we are poor is because of bad leadership. With good leadership, the
sky is our limit.
“So, the first thing I am going to
emphasise in employment is to register the unemployed because we have
employed a lot of people in the last eight years.”
“We are inaugurating our programme on
agriculture called the anchor programme. Edo has been selected for oil
palm, rubber, cassava, maize, livestock, poultry and fishery. Government
is going to support all you want to do.”
He, however, noted that the process of
wealth creation required the cooperation of all residents, especially as
they go to the poll next Wednesday.
“Alone, I cannot do it; I need all of
you to support the project to make it work, so that by the time we come
here, almost everybody will be gainfully and skilfully employed.
“We have done a research in government. I
do not want to be a governor where people fight to be senior special
assistants before they can buy cars.
“I want to be a governor that will
produce 100 millionaires after four years. That is my goal, so that at
the end my tenure, the people will truly lead because they will be
empowered.”
Obaseki, who also received the support
of the group led by its President, Mr. Osarobo Idahosa, added,”If you
have your PVC, on September 28, you all should come out and vote for the
APC.”
