Hon. Festus Ebea: Edo Central Must Put Its Best Foot Forward

By Douglas Ogbankwa Esq

I hardly write about people, but if I did be sure that person has substance and value. The first thing I heard about Rt. Hon Festus Ebea, it was during the crisis the pervaded the Edo State House of Assembly, when he was up head to head against a Sitting Governor. He stood for what he thought was right and he got once in our democratic experience in Edo State told the sitting Governor that things must be done properly irrespective of whose ox is gored.

I admire Rt. Hon. Festus Ebea for his tenacity of purpose, his charisma. Standing at about 6’5″, former Speaker Festus has a towering personality, strutting like a Colossus.

It is not just is physique that is gargantuan. Hon. Festus Ebea has a massive cerebral fecundity. One thing that catches my fancy as it concerns former Edo State Speaker Festus Ebea is him being a stickler for details and an apostle of truth and propriety.

Rt. Hon. Festus Ebea has had a great dose of legislative experience. He has cut his teeth in all strata of the complex milieu of the hollowed chambers of the Edo State House .A House that meets during the day and at night.

Hon Festus Ebea is the home boy of the Senatorial Contest. Always at home with his people, Hon. Festus Ebea is one of the Founding Father of the Home Grown Security Architecture in Esanland.

He has attracted investments and development into Esanland leveraging on his friends and associates. He also love Esanland, the way a village boy loves an Esan maiden.

I humbly call on all my  Esan brothers and sisters to look in the way of this great leader of uncommon candour.
