Comrade Oyibo, who made the promise today, Friday February 19, during his campaign visit to Ekurede-Itsekiri and Ugbori Town Halls, noted; “Our Community needs proper education, if I emerge winner, I will provide scholarships and also empower the Elders and the youths.”

While pleading with the Olara-Ajas (Eldest men) and the Council of Elders of both communities for their support, advice and prayer, to enable him emerge victorious, the APC Councillorship hopeful, stated that he wants the progress of the community, “unlike some persons that have been in that position for eight years, but nothing to show for”.

Mr. Omatseye, who noted that the community will be at peace, if they invest in the youths, beseeched Oyibo not to forget his promise, “because many have come, but after being elected didn’t fulfill their promise”.
