BENIN CITY-Ahead of the yet-to-be-announced local government polls in Edo State, a chairmanship aspirant for Esan West Local Government Area, Kelly O. Udebhulu has promised to operate an all inclusive government.
In a chat with our reporter in Benin city yesterday, Udebhulu said he is in the chairmanship race to bring the needed development to his people.
"I am not out to make empty promises; they should see me as somebody on a mission to bail them out of poverty. I will carry everybody along if elected as the next chairman of Esan west local government area. Our people need not suffer.” He assured.
He continued that his wide exposure to life and knowledge would play vital roles in his government.
"I have the understanding that quality education has a direct bearing on national prestige, greatness and cohesion. The knowledge and skill that young people acquire help determine their degree of patriotism and contribution to national integration and progress. The prohibitive cost of acquiring education is part of the causes of youth restiveness in our local government area.
"The after effect of this situation is that thousands of young people roam the streets. Those who manage to complete secondary school have no opportunities for tertiary education. Having been denied the chance to reach their potential, they are disorientated and readily available for anti-social actions." He disclosed.
A community based philanthropist-turned politician, Kelly Udebhulu stated that if elected his agenda would be people oriented administration.
"Sadly, rarely do people in Esan west local government participate in decision-making processes on issues that affect their lives." He lamented.
He assured his people that he would tame youth restiveness through the creation of job opportunities if elected that poverty is another major cause of youth restiveness and promised to address it if elected by his people.
“I will give adequate attention to women and youths in the locality by empowering them. Our people have suffered enough hence I am out to alleviate their plight.” He said.
“I will create the enabling environment in Esan West Local Government Area as the council chairman and when there is peace, investors will not be scared to come and invest in the area. I am out to make a change in Esan west Local Government Area,” the Chairmanship aspirant stated.
Kelly Udebhulu assured his teaming supporters that his chances of picking the party ticket and emerging the next chairman of Esan west local government area are very bright,” he concluded.
