The Deputy Coordinator, Edo South APC Governorship Campaign Council, Hon. Pius Alile has given the APC Governorship Campaign in Egor LGA a boost with the promise to grade the Okhokhugbo Road, which cuts across many communities, before a permanent construction is done by the next APC State Government as promised by the party.
Hon. Pius Alile made this pledge in response to the statement of the Enogie of Ukpera, HRH, Oghieyevbona Ivbaenikaro, who decried the bad condition of the major road that cuts through his dukedom, and which has made commuting to and from the community difficult and expensive. According to the Enogie, who singled out Hon. Pius Alile for recognition because of his previous effort of rehabilitating the road and for donating a community borehole to the community, among other things, the State Government had seemingly abandoned to their fate with regard to the road. The Enogie said they would be very grateful to the party that brings them a permanent solution.
Meanwhile, the Egor APC LGA Chairman, Chief Emma Iyase, reminded the Enogie that the PDP under Governor Obaseki, has been the party in power, and that whereas the APC under Governor Adams Oshiomhole had started the process of constructing the road, Obaseki his successor derailed. He promised that the APC under Sen. Monday Okpebholo, will ensure that the road is constructed.
Hon. Pius Alile has been a long time benefactor of Ukpera Community and a friend of the palace. Under the aegis of the Pius Alile Coalition Initiative, PACI, of which he is president and founder, Hon. Pius Alile has been of assistance to the community as mentioned before, among others as attested to by Enogie Oghieyevbona Ivbaenikaro.
