The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the Edo State September 21 governorship election, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on Wednesday, promised to provide good roads and modern markets in two communities.

Speaking in Uteh in the Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, Okpebholo assured the people that he would make sure the major road that passes through the community is given priority so that the people of Uteh can access their community without difficulty.

He noted that good roads were part of the gains of democracy and he was ready to bring it to the people if voted into power on election day.

At the Aduwawa livestock and Kara Market, Okpebholo who spoke in the Hausa language, told the crowd that he would build a modern market that is conducive to trading as well as abolish double taxation.

He said, “I will rebuild the market in Aduwawa to a modern one so that the traders can conduct their business in a conducive atmosphere. I will also tar the road so that moving to and for your community will become easy.

“Double taxation will become history in the state I am coming to work for Edo people and not to steal their money. Vote APC on September 21 and freedom will come your way,” he added.

Also speaking, a former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, told the people that Okpebholo, who is his colleague in the Senator will never disappoint them if elected into office.

Speaking in the Hausa language, Oshiomhole said that the people should vote for the APC as it was time for them to enjoy a different kind of governance compared to what is currently obtainable in the state.

He said, “I stand here today to assure you all that Okpebholo will deliver Edo people from PDP’s harsh policies. I appeal to you people to come out en masse and vote APC on September 21.”
