Evaristus Ehigianewoh
OpenLife Nigeria reports that Honourable Evaristus Isegulan Ehigianewoh, a die-hard believer in Senator Monday Okpebholo, the executive governor of Edo State, has spoken about the new government in Edo State.
Evaristus, popularly known as African Pastor, has called on all stakeholders to support the governor so that he will succeed in delivering his well-articulated plans to make Edo State better.
The Pastor, in a brief conversation with few journalists Sunday afternoon said governor Okpebholo has started very well.
“You can see for yourself. He hit the ground running. He is touching all areas like education, agriculture, road construction, health etc.”
On appointment, the President of Esan Lobby Group, ELG, clarifies that he did not support governor Okpebholo because of appointment.
“The truth is that my support for Governor Monday Okpebholo during the campaign and till this moment is not about appointment.
“I have known him for a long time and we have been close friends even though we are from different local government areas.
“I supported him because I believe in him, his political philosophy and ideology.
“I supported him because he is a man of truth and he has human feelings. He is not happy when people are not happy. He is happy when people are happy.
“My happiness today is because I have a sense of fulfilment by supporting Okpebholo. This is because of the steps he has taken to address key issues in Edo State.
“During the campaigns, I stood in prayers for APC and governor Okpebholo as a Pastor and spiritual leader .
“Till date, I am still praying for the governor to succeed in office.
“However, I am qualified for appointment either at the State or local government levels.
“With a Bachelor degree and my commitment to our party, APC including the risks some of us took during campaigns, I merit appointment.
“Once the governor calls me to render service in any capacity, I will discharge such responsibility with the cleanest of mind and commitment so that I can add value to his administration,” African Pastor said.
