EDO 2020: We Are Government Responsible Agency - PUWOV Boss.

By Simeon Osajie

As the September 19, 2020 Edo State Governorship Election approaches, issues and counter issues have begun to evolve in the polity. Latest of the issues is the accusations by Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu Campaign Organization that the state government or it's agents destroyed it's billboards in Benin city. 

The Osagie Ize-Iyamu Campaign Organization had aledged that it's billboards in Benin metropolis were been vandalised by agents of government.

In his reaction, the Edo State Coordinator, Public Safety and Works Volunteers Scheme( PUWOV), Mukhtar Yusuf-Osagie   said "the allegation is grossly misplaced as his members are better engaged in productive activities like creating conducive environment for citizens and motorists in and around Benin City and other major cities in Edo State". 

Mukhtar Yusuf-Osagie, while interacting with journalists in Benin City said: "Governor Godwin Obaseki, upon resumption of office as governor identified the need to clean the state of miscreants and city nuisance which was synonymous with past government."

The PUWOV boss said "past government misdirected the energies of our your by turning then to political thugs, pocket pickers and societal ills which became a threat to decent live in the city."

"But with the establishment of this agency, sanity returned to the state capital and other major cities in Edo State as against what was obtainable before OBASEKI government."

Mukhtar Yusuf-Osagie reiterated that "the era of 'go and die' has passed in Edo State and at no time will the state retrogress to that state of agbero again."

The PUWOV coordinator then "enjoined Edo State citizens to shun the propaganda and blackmail by detractors but continue to support as well as vote for Governor Godwin OBASEKI in the next election, so that he can continue to do his good work for the state."
