UROHI— His Royal Majesty and paramount ruler of Urohi community, ward 8, Esan west local government of Edo state, HRM Eidenojie 1, has urged politicians to desist from acts capable of undermining the growth and development of the country. He further stressed the necessity to always remember communities that stand on the rain or Sun during voting periods to cast their votes.

His Majesty, Eidenojie 1, gave the advice during a courtesy visit to his royal palace by the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate, Mr Godwin Obaseki and his campaign team. The Royal Majesty said that politicians should not see their offices as avenue for self-enrichment but should rather engage in the development of their communities.

HRM Eidenojie 1 urged politicians to remember the promises made during their electioneering, adding that the electorate would hold them accountable if they failed to deliver.

“If the politicians fail to fulfil the promises they made to the electorates during their campaign but rather engage in corrupt acts, we shall meet again after four years. We would play our parts so far you politicians remember our community“, the monarch declared.

The king however, urged politicians to put the fear of God in everything they do, stressing that the country could only develop when politicians use the available resources at their disposal judiciously.

HRM Eidenojie 1 also pray to God to actualize the heart desires of the APC's candidate and urge many people present to vote wisely and remember that God sees their votes even if the candidate is not in the same voting booth with them at that particular time.

In the same campaign activities, a son of the soil and an APC vibrant leader and a business man from the community, Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu urges his people to vote for Mr Godwin Obaseki and Hon. Philip Shaibu in the September 10th governorship poll, remembering his people the neglects suffered in the hands of PDP during the Lucky Igbinedion's government under which the PDP's candidate this day was an active actor.

"We suffered before and we shall suffer no more if Godwin Obaseki becomes the next Governor of Edo State. It is on record that my community had never produced any state or federal level political office holder since the creation of Edo state, this and many other reasons we must consider before we vote and that votes must go for Godwin Obaseki, the APC's candidate" He advised.

Rt. Hon. Thomas Okosun, Mr Omonfuman, Arc. Austin Emuan, GT's CEO, Hon. Emmanuel Aigbokhaevbolo, Hon. Borony and hosts of other known politicians accompanied the APC campaign train to Urohi community in Esan west local government of Edo state.
