Obaseki Administration Remains Unparallel In Edo — Uzamere

As Governor Godwin Obaseki administration winds down in Edo State, the Commissioner for Roads and Bridges, Engr. Ethan Uzamere, has asserted that what the outgoing administration did as landmark achievements in its eight years tenure remains unparallel in the history of the state.

He made the assertion when the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) members from his constituency in Ovia South West Local Government Area of the State hosted him to a grand reception and awarded him a plaque of honour for his meritorious service to the state.

Thanking the organisers of the reception for the honour, Engr. Uzamere said: “It’s a very emotional moment for me. A big thanks to the organisers. Everybody here has had an impact on my life. I want to thank Governor Godwin Obaseki for the opportunity he gave me to showcase myself.

“My experience in government as an appointee has taught me a lot. I will always be there for Governor Obaseki. What we did in the last eight years has never been done before.”

In his own submission, Prince Benjamin Iyase, a leader of the PDP in Ovia South West Local Government Area, said that Engr. Ethan’s name was synonymous with success. He recalled that in 2020 when Engr. Uzamere was the Chief of Staff to Governor Obaseki, the party which was least expected to perform well at the gubernatorial poll, scored much higher votes than it was projected to score.

“Now, with Ethan being a Commissioner, we won this year’s election. It’s not an error that we’re celebrating him. We shall reclaim our mandate. He has touched many lives. We pray that the sky will continue to be his limit. He will be counted among the best commissioners in this outgoing administration.”

Chairman of Ovia South West Local Government Council, Edosa Enowoghomwenma, disclosed that Engr. Uzamere was the unseen hand behind most laudable projects in the locality. He stressed that he gets the wise counsel of the outgoing commissioner in most things he does.

Wesley Asoro, proprietor of Wesley Hotel, a hospitality business situated in the heart of the GRA, Benin City, asserted, “the whole Edo State, not only Ovia South West Local Government Area, is proud of you. God will take you to a higher position.”

One after the other, guests poured encomiums on Engr. Uzamere, whom they described as an enigma and a political colossus. Highpoint of the day was the award of a plaque for meritorious service to Engr. Uzamere, whose father, Senator Ehigie Uzamere, witnessed the memorable occasion.
