THE leadership of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo state set aside their political differences to grace the 60th birthday celebration of Senator Ehigie Uzamere, representing Edo South Senatorial District of Edo State.
Senator Uzamere used the occasion to celebrate his achievements in his eight years in the senate_, revealing that he attracted 315 projects to his constituency which he said were spread across the seven Local Government Areas of the South Senatorial District.
These projects which are verifiable according to him, includes health centres, transformers, boreholes, road construction, town hall/ civic centres among others.
“I created unfettered accessibility between myself and my constituents which made it possible for regular interaction with the people.
It also afforded them the opportunity to ventilate their feelings especially on the place of Edo South in the power equation of Edo state and the nation. “They were particularly aggrieved that our people were always cheated in key appointments into Federal institutions especially those located on our soil”.
He pointed out that it was as a result of his struggle that Benin sons were made Chief Executives at NIFOR, University of Benin and the Psychiatric Hospital in Benin City.
