Esan Liberation Movement led by Hon. Prosper Iyere wishes to thank the public and Esan people especially the youths, concerned Esan groups, Esan Young Democrats, CEESF, Iruekpen Youths, Irrua Youths and the media for the solidarity expressed during the call for attention on the bad state of the Benin -Ekpoma- Auchi Federal roads.
The protest which started and lasted for some weeks is believed to have yielded the expected result judging from the interest shown by the relevant stakeholders in fixing the road.
We appreciate other groups and concerned stakeholders who are making moves and taking after the bold step of Esan Liberation Movement in support to our quest in fixing the bad roads. 2pac once said “I am not saying I can change the world, but I can spark the brains that will change the world”.
It is important to inform the public that after due consultation with the Edo state ministry of roads and bridges, Federal Ministry of works and critical stakeholders in Edo Central, the state government is in collaboration with the FG to expedite actions in fixing the road, massive surface gutter line will be constructed to move the water from the road.
Our people have a role to play as regards to areas that may be affected by channeling the gutter. Onojie of ekpoma is working with the HOLGA) in achieving this.
Therefore, Esan Liberation Movement have decided to RELAX the protest and give way to the contractor to do the needful.
However, we are monitoring to ensure that they keep to their promises and also working behind the scenes in the best way we can to put pressure on them not to fail in their promises.
The palliative measures will be sustained to ease vehicular movement for now.
There is power in togetherness and with this we shall achieve more. Our Land will be great Again.
Thank you and God bless us all.
God bless Esan Land.
Akugbe Ahu.
Esan Oye…..
