Obaseki Boosts Security On Edo Waterways, Procures Gunboats, Others* by Osamudamen: 10:25am On Jul 02, 2020
*_... as Gelegele, Ologbo get marine posts to check piracy_*

In furtherance of its efforts to boost security on the state’s waterways and protect the lives and property of the citizenry, the Edo State Government has purchased more armoured gunboats and speedboats to curb criminal activities along its coastal areas and waterways.

Speaking with journalists immediately after delivering the speedboat and armoured gunboats in Benin-city, the Executive Chairman, Edo State Oil and Gas Producing Area Development Commission (EDSOGPADEC) Board, Pastor Kennedy Osifo, said the governor’s desire to create a peaceful and rancour-free atmosphere to boost the economy of the state influenced the purchase of the boats.

He noted that to complement the efforts of the governor in curbing crime and criminal activities in the state, his board had built Marine Posts at Gelegele in Ovia North East Local Government Area and Ologbo in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of the state, to fight pirates on the water ways.

Osifo, who spoke on behalf of other board members, maintained that the State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki would be reelected for a second term in office on account of his many achievements across all sectors of the state so as to consolidate on these achievements.

He added: “Governor Obaseki is a silent achiever whose legacies in the private sector had promoted good governance in the state.”

The EDSOGPADEC boss, however, urged the Edo people to support the second term bid of the governor, stressing that he has brought respite to the common man.

It would be recalled that four speed and four armoured gun boats were earlier purchased by the state government to boost the security architecture, Wabazigan, for the purpose of securing the waterways in the state.

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has prayed for the quick recovery of his Delta State counterpart, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and his wife, Edith, who have tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

In a statement, Governor Obaseki sent his prayers to Governor Okowa and his wife, and expressed confidence that they would defeat the virus and come out triumphant.

According to him, “I received the news of the coronavirus status of my brother and fellow governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and his wife, with hope of their quick recovery from the virus. The governor has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 fight in Delta State and we know that he may have contracted the virus on the line of duty, serving the good people of Delta State. I know the governor to be a man of faith and we trust that he would get well soon to continue on his enviable development trajectory in the state.”

“Governor Okowa’s family and Delta people should be assured that their brothers and sisters in Edo State are in fervent prayers for the quick recovery of the governor and his lovely wife,” he added.
