He posited, “What i am doing today is part of my promises to my people in Ede. I have done many in the past, I am still going to do more. As a people, we’ve been shortchanged in the past, the time to reap the real dividends of democracy is now.

“What I have done in the past is just a tip of the iceberg, many are still coming for my people. It’s undeniable fact that the present economic hardship is everywhere and we must do everything possible to make sure our people are able to cater for themselves.”
