People of Edo state need to understand that there is only one person that matches in the forthcoming gubernatorial— he is the most preferable man out of all the aspirants.

This choicest man is Engr. Chris Osa Ogiemwonyi. He is competent and remarkably sincere to govern Edo with fairness, equality, freedom, unbiased, transparency and loyalty to the people of the state. Calling him with these nouns mean he is the noun which means a noun is the name of anything or place. Engr. Chris, is the man that can wear the crown.

In no doubt, Edo state politics has been in brouhaha for some time now but the man who is fondly called ‘’ Mr. Local Content ‘’ can govern the state in a way that every denizen will enjoy the dividend of democracy without any imposition. Well, if we’re to talk about a cerebral man that has people at heart; Engr. Chris Ogeimwonyi is the man with the charisma and trustworthiness.

As a leader, people’s respect is utmost. Therefore, this particular attribute is what you will see in him because he is not corrupt or a dubious politician. He hasn’t been charged for any corrupt case by the anti-graft agencies even when he was the, Group Executive Director, GED of NNPC and former Minister of state for works, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Having this man in Edo state house means a lot due to his exposure and intelligence to understand the people’s expectations; and with him, nothing stops Edo state to be the fastest-growing revenue. He knows what to give the populace in terms: security, modern development and education because he always demonstrates the fear of God in his conduct and relations with people.

Talking about an exemplary character who is passionate about moral principles, Engr. Chris is the man. He has the reference points for leadership in the land due to his blend of academic and professional training within and outside Nigeria. With no doubt, he is a household name, especially in Edo state, where he hails from and attended his educational institutions, and still serving his people compassionately.

Meanwhile, to become a leader is not just by saying, but it is by acting and proving it with excellence— and Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi has proved it with his 34 years of working experience in the oil and gas industry. And however, his name has equally appeared in the boardroom, public discourse, media space, and political space as an astute man who is committed to whatever he does. He is a consummate mentor and a generous philanthropist. Indeed, such is the incredible setting of a man who has the integrity to rule the people of Edo.

Engr. Ogiemwonyi is a colossal amongst his peers. He rose from a humble family background in Idumwebo village in Orhionmwhon local government area; with an enterprising dint of diligent, hard work, and following the divine patterns of fate and destiny.

Hence, to contest for a governorship position is beyond the favouritism of a political party or some stakeholders. It is absolutely for the rule of intent, to govern the state with pedigree and to also advance governance beyond just the government house and political tantrums. But it is to speak to the people with empathy and this is significant to Engr. Ogiemwonyi. He is the choicest candidate who understands the doggedness against hubris, nepotism, and cronyism.

As a grassroots politician, he knows what the people need and he is ready to serve them because he thinks about them always. He is resourceful. He knows the right thing to say at the right time. He is indeed the perfect man to give Edo the colour of brightness due to his courage and dedication as a public servant.

Engr. Ogeimwonyi is a quintessential man that can take Edo state to the next level. His journey as a politician is not by chance; he has tremendously worked his way as a resilient man whose admirers have always seen as the messiah to Edo state because he is sincere.

However, election comes and goes but a true man like Engr. Ogeimwonyi stays forever because he is ready to serve the people of Edo state in his capacity and to deliver his expectation and determine to bring modern development.

A leader is a person who laughs all the time and who listens and pays attention to public discourse and to embrace new idea and understand what the people need at every point in time— and this Engr. Chris Ogeimwonyi.

Lastly, people of Edo state, you have no choice than to vote this choicest man who is capable to deliver the state from the debacle of other politicians. He is the man who knows where the shoe itches in Edo governance. Let’s vote for him….Ogeimwonyi 2020.
Edo Deserves Ogiemwonyi.
