I, on behalf of the good people of Evbukhu Community, in Oredo LGA of Edo State, wish to express my deepest appreciation to the Executive Governor of Edo State, His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo, on the ongoing construction of Evbukhu Community Road, Off Obe, Off RCC Junction, Sapele Road, Oredo LGA, Benin City, (which is a landmark connecting road that links Sapele Road, through Evbukhu Community, Obe Community Old Road, Ohoghobi and Amagba Communities).
Prior to your intervention which commenced early last year (2025), the Evbukhu Community road and its environs were earth roads, and they were a nightmare for residents and commuters of the benefiting communities. Many residents had in the past sustained bone fractures in their arms and legs from bike accidents due to the deplorable state of the road. But with your rescue mission, at least up to 3000 households have been lifted and liberated from the excruciating and harrowing experiences of the past months and years, and our communities have been opened up to vehicular and lively economic activities.
Your Excellency Sir, your developmental strides in road infrastructure across the State and your progressive leadership style are visible to all residents of Evbukhu Community in particular, the other affected communities, and the entire populace of Edo State. In fact, it is on record that this Evbukhu Community road project is the first of its kind in the area since the creation of Edo State, as these are virgin roads built from the scratch, with solid concrete reinforcements, thick rods, granite, drainages, excavation, laterite refilling and overall quality construction work. We must commend the quality of the ongoing road work. We hail your commitment to durability and your taste for quality work.
We thank you for coming to our rescue and for showing us that it is possible for a Government to feel the pulse of the people. We thank God Almighty for the gift of such a wonderful and caring Governor. You are indeed a man of integrity and compassion. Your name is written in gold already in the hearts of the children, youths, men, women, landords/landladies, tenants, and elders of Evbukhu Community.
Your Excellency Sir, may I respectfully use this rare opportunity to bring to your attention one of the major landmarks in Evbukhu Community for your kind consideration, which is the popular Evbukhu Market Road. We know that you are doing a lot already for our beloved State with the scarce resources at your disposal, for which we are eternally grateful. Your heart of service and commitment to the welfare and well-being of your citizens does not go unnoticed and will be duly rewarded by God and reciprocated by us in due time. The popular Market Road, which is a very short road (about 200 meters long), if asphalted with accompanying side drainages, would serve as a major service road that provides an easy link between Evbukhu Community and Ohoghobi Community. This would be the icing on the cake for us in the community, as it would be of great benefit to all residents, market traders and other commuters of the Evbukhu Market Road.
We owe you our sincere gratitude always for remembering us at this historic moment in our lives with these landmark road projects, which we consider a show of love for the people of Edo State, a gesture you have shown regardless of senatorial district or geographical location. This is what selfless leadership is about. I thank you immensely for shining your SHINE Agenda torch on our communities and on Edo State at large. We see your hand work, and most importantly, we see the Hand of God at work in you.
THANK YOU SIR!
God bless you Sir, His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo
God bless Evbukhu Community
God bless the good people of Edo State.
