it will be a worthwhile debate for former ministers in Edo since 1999-Godwin Abe, Odion Ugbesia, Chris Ogiemwonyi, Mike Onolememen, and Osagie Ehanire (together with Agba), to step out in defence of their stewardships by laying claims to projects they facilitated in the state as well as programmes they initiated for the benefit of Edo people. This is the time for rigorous scrutiny and interrogation of antecedents in the quest for a governor after Obaseki with capacity to redeem Edo State and place it on the path of sustainable development.
