The
leadership and membership of the Ogiemwonyi Solidarity Movement, OSM, have been
assured of the maximum support of its principal-project, Engr. (Dr.) Chris
Ogiemwonyi.
At the inaugural meeting of the
movement at the Motel Benin Plaza, penultimate week, Engr. Ogiemwonyi commended
the movement for its focus and commitment, assuring that it could count on his
support at all times and “I will not take you for granted.”
The former Minister of State for
Works, Federal Ministry of Works, while thanking members of the Movement for
their sacrifice and focus, remarked that it was gratifying that, very early in
the day, in the life of his quest to seek the gubernatorial seat of Edo State,
ahead of the 2016 election, the group had become so organized and visible, and
urged them to continue to mobilize membership across the state.
Engr. Ogiemwonyi noted that
youth unemployment has continued to be the highest hurdle successive
administrations have failed to scale, and disclosed that tackling the social
malaise would be top on his agenda of priorities if he eventually secures the
ticket and mandate of the people to govern the state.
Earlier in his speech, Edo State
Coordinator of the OSM, Prince Victor Ehue, disclosed that the Movement was a
non-tribal group, cutting across the three senatorial districts of the state
and made up of like-minds who believed in the potentials and abilities of Engr.
Ogiemwonyi to take the all-round development of the state onto higher heights
and improve on the laudable contributions of the present Gov. Oshiomhole-led administration.
He disclosed that the OSM was
already on ground in the eighteen local government areas of the state,
insisting that the movement believes that Engr. Ogiemwonyi should be supported
by all and sundry because “he holds the Midas touch to do it better as governor
of Edo State, come 2016.”
