The Federal House of Representatives has described the efforts by the Edo State Government to reduced unemployment, Adams Oshiomhole, and the level of infrastructural development in the state as “second to none.”

The Chairman, House Committee on Education, Hon. Aminu Suleiman, who disclosed this when he led other members of the committee on a courtesy visit to the governor at Government House in Benin, added that the committee had assessed the state and seen the developmental efforts of the state government.

Suleiman, while describing the Governor Adams Oshiomhole as a pan-Nigeria leader, who accepted to come back after presiding of the Nigeria Labour Congress, as President, to become Governor of the state, which, according to him, was a sign of humility in display, appreciated the people of state for the confidence they reposed on him.

He said, “Your fight against poverty and your drive for human capital development is actually second to none in the face of zero resources, because Edo State is only an oil producing state probably by name; if the resources accruing to oil producing states are anything to go by. Yet, you have utilised the little you are receiving judiciously well to further earn our respect.”

“We are here and many of us are satisfied with what we saw. Those of us who are familiar with Edo State continue to wonder where you manufactured the funds to do what you are doing in the state.

“We want to particularly thank the people of Edo State and the government headed by you for what you have been able to achieve. I say this because you have spent your life traversing the nooks and corners of this country, fighting for and on behalf of all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, colour, creed and religion.

He also reiterated the confidence of the House in the political style of the former NLC boss, whom he said had suffered enough deprivations, denials and brutality on behalf of Nigerians.”

“I want to say on behalf of the Committee that you have a huge followership in the House of Representatives who believe in your style irrespective of the political leaning and I think at the appropriate time when the need arises, we will make use of that political capital. The House of Representative is one classical example of a house that does act in the National interest irrespective of the political party”

come to think of it, has Oshiomhole done anything in his 2nd term!! just wondering. Apart from Akpabio all other Governors doing a 2nd term have failed woefully.

Which of the Oshiomholes are they commending?, is it the “OshioBaba” of ACN or the” OshioMama” of APC?......... they are actually not the same.
