 Story by Elvis Omoregie, Benin

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Orhionmwon-South Constituency in Edo State have apologised and begged for forgiveness from the people in the locality for their error in the choice of Hon Roland Asoro to represent the constituency in the State House of Assembly.

 

They made the plea at a reception head in honour of Deacon Newman Ugiagbe,
a former Chairman of the Local government hosted by APC leaders in his ward
(Ukpato) to formally inform them of his aspiration to the constituency seat
in the State House of Assembly, the leaders advocated for a loyal party man
who will prioritise the welfare of the people of his constituency.

 

The leaders, who were members of APC from all the wards in the constituency, including Mr Wesley Asoro and Timothy Asoro therefore pleaded for forgiveness, with a vowed that the error would not reoccur again.

 

According to them, after getting the mandate of the people, Hon Asoro
engaged in politics of isolating the electorate at the expense for self
serving interest.

 

According to them, “the constituency has never had it so bad.
Having realised their mistake in the past election, they said they decided
to endorse and express their support for Deacon Newman Ugiagbe for the
position in the 2019 general elections”.

On his part, Deacon Ugiagbe disclosed that Orhionmwon South constituency
deserves better representation in the State House of Assembly.

Reacting to the development, the member representing Orhionmwon Sought
constituency Edo state House of Assembly Hon Roland Asoro, debunked the
rumour making around that his two cousins Timothy Asoro and Asoro Wesley
who played a major role in his first election have been abandoned.
In his words, “The people you mentioned are my second cousins brothers I
love them so much I don’t have anything against them and I can’t say wrong
things against them it’s family issues”

He said, i don’t want to sound boastful, on the area of
constituency project my vibrant representation in the House and number
of projects has been attracted and done by my humble self for the good
people of my constituency which my people can attest to.

Celebrating Toks Wahab … Omoluabi Eko at 54

 

 

As Tokunbo Wahab turns 54, it is only fitting to celebrate not just the years, but the man he has consistently shown himself to be—one defined by kindness, humility, and a genuine love for people.

 

Yes, he is the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, and by every standard, he has done extremely well. His work, impact, and dedication in that office are evident for all to see. But that is not even the thrust of this write-up.

 

This is about the person.

 

A proud son of Epe in Lagos, he carries his roots with dignity and grace, reflecting the values of his heritage in the way he lives and relates with people. TKW… Omoluabi Eko—a true embodiment of character, respect, and integrity.

 

He is a man who shows up. Always willing to assist, to help, to give—without hesitation and without noise. His generosity is quiet, yet deeply impactful. His kindness is not occasional; it is who he is.

 

Those who know him closely will tell you he is incredibly accommodating. Easy to approach, easy to speak with, and always ready to make others feel comfortable, heard, and valued. There is a simplicity about him that is rare—no airs, no distance—just a calm, grounded presence.

 

He gives without announcing it. He supports without seeking recognition. He blesses lives in ways that may never be seen publicly, yet remain unforgettable to those who experience his goodwill.

 

In a world where many complicate things, he remains refreshingly simple. In a space where recognition is often chased, he chooses quiet impact. And when others might turn away, he steps forward.

 

As he marks this new chapter, we celebrate not just his life, but we also pray that God grants him many more meaningful years—years of continued service, impact, and grace to keep uplifting his people.

 

Happy 54th Birthday.
