While noting that the agenda can only be realised if the people are united and speak with one voice, Ikimi, who hails from Igueben, charged eligible voters in the locality to key into the vision of the administration in order to take full control of what he called “The Esan Agenda.”
Ikimi, stated at the event:
Esan people are now united. We have what we call ‘the Esan Agenda’. We can only realise the agenda if we support Governor Godwin Obaseki for a second term.
Yesterday, I went through a list of 14 projects that have been successfully completed by this government in Igueben. I am impressed. We want to clear all the votes. We must get 99.9 per cent. Money cannot buy Igueben people.
We are supporters of Governor Godwin Obaseki. We believe in him.
