“Mr. Governor, we are assuring you that you are at home. This community road has been a disaster for over a thousand years until your intervention.
“We were cut off from Edo State until you gave us a good road that integrated us back as members of the state. We cannot forget such a gesture.
“The government comes and goes and no government remembers that we exist. But Obaseki came and connected us back to the state through good roads.
“It took 24hours to come out from the community to the main road but today, the story is no more the same. In less than an hour, you can now approach various parts of the state due to a good network of roads,” he said.
