A group, Ovia South-West/North-East United, has called on a member of the House of Representatives representing Ovia federal constituency of Edo State, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, to contest the State’s governorship election in 2024.
Convener of the group and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ora Ward, Ovia South-West Local Government Area, Hon. Goodluck Adenomo, in a statement in Benin City, said Idahosa has the qualities required to govern a State having displayed the qualities as a member of the Green Chamber for the past four years.
The astute businessman described Idahosa as a bridge between the old and the young, adding that his popularity cuts across all ages and genders.
He said: “Hon Dennis Idahosa has proven his leadership capacities even before he became a member of the House of Representatives.
“Many people have forgotten that he was a Commissioner under the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole administration and when he was there, he donated his monthly salary to the less-privileged and widows in Ovia.
“As a lawmaker, he has not only displayed his capacities with his contributions to debates in the House, sponsorship and co-sponsorship of Bills, Motions and Resolutions, he has connected with the executive arm of government and to bring development and empowerments to the people of Ovia.
“Since the beginning of the 4th Republic, the people of Ovia have never had it this good and it is only proper that such a performer is given a bigger responsibility so that he can extend this goodwill and leadership qualities to the people of Edo State.”
