SENATORIAL CONTEST; WHAT ESAN PEOPLE MUST KNOW.


By Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu.

Esan people seriously need a new beginning, and, Esan people have the enough political capacity to bring this into reality. After 16, non-stop, years of PDP domination in Esan politics, every Esan person cannot visibly touch, an infrastructural, educational, social development recorded in our land except what our illustrious son, late Prof. Ambrose Alli, brought to esan land during his 4 years rule as Governor of the then Bendel state. Back to memory lane, NPN headed by our high chief in PDP today, were the people who ringed late Prof  Ambrose Alli out of office in the 1983 election, thereby, putting to a stop the developmental train that entered esanland then; (if late Prof Alli was allowed to continue his second term in office, I guess, esan land would have developed more than where it reached during his first term). Same PDP cabals removed Prof Osunbor, as Governor, from office with an accusation of disloyalty. How much can we say that Esan people never experienced in the hands of these conservatives?

Now, the hard lesson we have learnt is enough and the only way to show our collective reaction is to vote out PDP domination in Esanland in this forth-coming election, with this, we have expressed our anger that the EBAKOTA (agreement reached only by cabals in PDP always which still produced another sleeping senator in waiting as their PDP candidate in the senatorial race, who will be 100 % loyal to the PDP conservatives), have ended abruptly politically.

Here comes a known Esan personality, a businessman, a philanthropist, the Uzoya of Esanland, Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki, who knows the political terrain clearly, who cannot be another sleeping senator representing Edo central senatorial district. One funny accusation by many in distant from Chief Inegbeniki, who claimed to know him (people who are more catholic than the pope), is that they tagged him as rude and fearless and will never respect the godfathers. Just imagine! My reaction to them is straight; Chief Francis Inegbeniki will be rude to those who prevent developments to come to Esanland and will continue to be a thorn in their hearts till the liberation we desire from the hands of these cabals is achieved.

Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki promises everywhere he goes in his campaign rally to make esan people proud, uses his senatorial influences to bring infrastructural developments to Esan land, empower Esan indigenes just as he has being doing in his private capacity, he preaches peace throughout Esan land, assures every voters that their votes will count and avoid confrontations in the faces of provocations as he is fully aware of the sinister plans of the PDP cabals. He assures people of Esan people in the Uzea/Uromi/Ugboha environs of the completion of the water projects abandoned by the PDP”s contractors though claimed completed in their record. He further assures other esan people of provision of water and other desired amenities accordingly.

Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki assures all enijies including chiefs that he will represents their interests at the federal levels and promises to eradicate unnecessary bureaucracy in the welfare packages of the traditional rulers. Not left to be assured are the market women who will be proud to have Chief (Dr) Francis Inegbeniki as their senator.

The Senatorial election day is 28th March, 2015, I promise you that you will be proud of the work he will do at the Senate, so lets us all work together either by making phone calls, door-to-door mobilization, organizing support in your neighbourhood, stand in for Chief Francis Inegbeniki where orientation, correction and amendment are to be given in absentia !

EVERLASTING MEMORY: 365 DAYS TODAY, I LOST MY DEAR BLOOD BROTHER, LATE CHIEF FRIDAY USIFOH OSUYI. A TRIBUTE TO HIM. (1958-2014).

By Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu (Younger Brother).

I would like to share something personal with you. On February 6th, 2014,  my brother passed away. Indeed, God reached down from heaven and took him home at the age of 56 years.

“Few only notice your successes but many feel your positive touches in their lives”...a tribute ( Prince K. Udebhulu, 06/02/2014).

Around the spring season of 1958, a child was born to the family of Ibharayi by a golden daughter of Pa Odiase of Ohon- Urohi, in Esan West Local Government of Edo State; the child name was Late Chief Friday Usifoh Osuyi. He was strong, wise, energetic, handsome, emulative and aspiring right from his tender age because of the circumstances surrounding his early days in life-many know about these circumstances.

My blood brother, Late Chief Friday Usifoh Osuyi, was a very special man. He was a person who cared about the people around him. He always took a special interest in what everybody did and how they were doing it. He never quit fighting injustice & oppression. His true success in life is people. He understood the joy in lifting other people up, making them smile, and leaving them changed in a positive way. He was trying to make this world a better place for all until the end to get well from the diabetes that came to his life at the last years of his successful period on this planet earth.

He is very much a big part of who I am today. I have been lucky to spend 44 years with him and to be part of his life. He dishonored bad advices that came to him during his early plans to have me educated, trained and subsequent sponsoring of my humble self to abroad where I became a man today. He touched many of our lives in so many ways. We are all better people because we knew my brother and God used him to touch our lives.

My brother was an amazing family man and always had time for his family at all times. He was a devoted husband.

Our Mom and my brother shared many good times away and at home together, just to show genuine love, caring and affection to her.

"Brother, Our mom weeps but gracious to God that you were a figure and an icon wherever you touched while on this planet earth! How we wish you are alive for more gracious years!!! ".

My love of hard work, boldness, wise decision making, love for those who dislike me and my spirit to assist people under my capacity came directly from my brother.
The things I will miss most are our morning phone calls, how he cares about me, my two sisters, his children, his wives and his big smile.

All I want to say is thank you to my brother for making this world a better place for my family and our friends. Thank you for caring about me and taking an interest in my life. I love you brother.

Please let’s have this prayer for him;

“GOD, GIVE HIM A BETTER RESTING PLACE, PROTECT HIS CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, PROTECT HIS FAMILY, SUPPORT OUR MOM TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO BEAR THE LOSS, AND GUIDE HIS BROTHER, SISTERS, FAMILY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS TO SHOW LOVE TO HIS FAMILY THAT HE LEFT BEHIND IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.”

Late Chief Friday Usifoh Osuyi, was a Husband, a Brother, a Grandfather, an Uncle and a Friend to many and most of all was my pillar, educator, father, best friend who touched my life in many ways positively.

MAY YOU CONTINUE TO REST IN PEACE.
