Iziegbeuwa Irene Ojo, an aspirant for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Edo State House of Assembly election, has reaffirmed her dedication to grassroots development. This pledge came at the end of her consultation tour across Oredo East Constituency, where she held discussions with party leaders and community stakeholders. The tour covered Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 12 within Oredo Local Government Area. Ojo emphasized her focus on inclusive representation and sustainable community-driven projects. She described the engagements as pivotal to understanding local needs ahead of the election.
A candidate touring five wards and calling it a consultation is hardly groundbreaking. Iziegbeuwa Irene Ojo's promise of grassroots development sounds good, but such tours are standard pre-election theatre. If she wins, Edo residents will judge her by actual legislative presence, not photo opportunities in five wards.
