Written By Oshiobugie John

During a bustling working day, Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, the distinguished Labour Party flagbearer, captivated Edolites across all walks of life with his impactful engagements. However, one interaction has particularly set social media platforms ablaze: his dynamic engagement with the traders of New Benin Market.

In his ongoing campaign tour, Akpata extensively interacted with the New Benin Market traders, listening to their struggles, joys, and opinions to better understand how to boost their trade. He also shared his transformative vision for Edo State’s development across all sectors if elected in the fast-approaching September election.

Highlighting his vision to stabilize SMEs and boost Edo State’s economy, Akpata stated: “We nor go fail una. The Governor of Abia State used one billion naira of Abia money to give traders like una interest-free loans. Edo nor dey carry last. If Abia do one billion, we go do two billion.”

Engaging with the crowd of traders, Akpata posed a pointed question about the performance of the current government led by Governor Obaseki: “Pikin wey go school do exam, e must come back with report card. Wetin their report card de talk?” The traders responded in unison, “Zero! We nor want them again.”

At Second East Circular Road, New Market, Akpata continued his dialogue with the traders: “Una de forbid light? Una dey forbid for market to fine? The people wey dey come with their sweet mouth, just ask them show me your report card. Wetin dem score for light? Wetin dem score for food matter? Wetin dem score for road matter?” The traders once again responded with a resounding “Zero!”

On the same day, Akpata electrified the scene at Uselu Market, engaging with Keke drivers in a fiery dialogue. He issued a stark warning about the peril of voting for the same parties that have plunged Edo State into darkness over the past twenty-five years. His words resonated deeply, striking a chord with the drivers who have borne the brunt of these political failures.

Amidst the throes of economic turmoil, rampant hunger, crumbling infrastructure, and the dire lack of basic amenities, Akpata stands as a beacon of hope. With an impeccable track record and an unyielding commitment to progress, he is undeniably the candidate destined to lead Edo State into a new era of prosperity. Rally behind Akpata’s visionary leadership for a brighter, better tomorrow under the Labour Party.
