“ BEDC has continued to put us in darkness in the state and we will give them seven days to restore electricity or else we will shut their offices down in the state ,” he said .

Speaking during the campaign in Ward 9 , Obaseki said N 500m had been set aside in the 2019 budget to construct an entertainment park and waterworks , urging residents in the ward to support the APC candidates to represent them at the state and federal levels .

He said , “ We have awarded the contracts for the repair of the failed portions of Okhoro road and the contractor who went on holiday has resumed work with the promise to start work next week .”

He described Ward 10 as a special ward that had several federal and state institutions, stating that his administration had completed the design of the Technical College road and awarded the contract .

“ I have also asked the contractor to rehabilitate Adolor College Road and in two weeks ’ time , contractors will commence work , ” he assured.
