The Edo chapter of the Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN) has congratulated Mr. Monday Okpebholo on winning the most recent governorship election and taking office as the state’s governor.
According to the miners, the result demonstrated Edo’s supporters’ faith in his ability to lead the state to greater heights.
The association’s chairman, Mr. Mike Okhumode, and secretary, Mr. Fatai Jimoh, made this announcement in Benin on Tuesday. In order to build the state, they urged the governor to lead an inclusive government and be generous in his triumph.
While describing the governor as a man of intellect and a performer judging from his previous records, the miners urged him to urgently consider the issue of double taxation and insecurity.
They said the double-edged sword was retrogressing businesses across Edo.
“We are fully aware of your antecedents in both public office and private capacities; we know that you will not fail to deliver on your campaign promises to the people of Edo State.
“This will be done by embracing all shades of opinions and suggestions aimed at developing our dear state,” they said.
The miners appealed to the people to support the new government to succeed in building a new Edo.
