The question you should ask is does he have enough funds for the development of Edo state. The work he did that you call "little", I heard that he had to borrow to have them completed.

i dont really understand you,dont edo state recieve monthly allocation 4rm Abuja??how has he fared in internal revenue generation??so T.A orji can also justify his non performance with lack of funds abi??is that what you are insinuating??

The point I am trying to raise is that the Edo state monthly allocation is not enough to pay for civil servants salary and pensions,not to talk of road, drainage constructs and repair. As for the internal revenue generation, your guess is as good as mine

no i disagree,inasmuch as i know its not as much as fellow ND states like bayelsa,rivers and delta but you cant tell me its less than a state like enugu and so far Chime have done well,atleast i was in enugu few months back and i was impressed with the state of infrastructures.....the point is adams have performed far below expectation,i wish some1 that resides in benin can prove me wrong

So Oshiomole has spent 6years as the governor of Edo state hmmmmm? What did lucky and osunbor do in that state while they were in power. I have spent over 25 years of my life in that state and when i left for over 5 years and came back i was impressed by what i saw(in all the location i went ) the guy should be given some credit,no one is perfect but he is trying. Look at the construction work from new benin to ugbow with the walkway and parking space or is it airport road or third and second east circular road,how about TV road. He will do wonders if he has the means. Flooding is a big problem in benin,take adolor college junction as a case study it defies all solutions so fatr ,even Abel Guobadia former INEC chairman of blessed memory haf to relocate to GRA cos of the flood wahala. Dont forget the fact that there are also local government chairmen and national assembly members who could be of assisstance but have all left it to the governor cos in lagos that is what happens
