He said, “In the coming days, I and my team shall be embarking vigorously on more tours throughout all the wards of our constituency, meeting with stakeholders (both leaders and constituents) so as to foster and deepen the already harmonious relationship that will bring about the very best ways of meeting the dire needs of the good people of Esan North East and South East constituency.”
Okojie added that “there is a lot to be done no doubt and with all hands on deck, we shall surely get to the promised land.”
