Capacity and rhetorical influence are not enough; competence matters.

With 8 years of experience in public office, it's time to move beyond grandstanding and empty promises of 'E go do am' without referencing past achievements.

The capacity and competence to warehouse 25 billion AGRIPRENUER funds belonging to Edo people in a bank where he serves as chairman is questionable.

Moreover, his inability to influence electricity and water supply to his community for over 20 years raises concerns. His economic advisory role in spending $150 million on erosion control with zero environmental impact is also troubling.

The creation of a 'circular economy' in the budget with a 53 billion provision, larger than the entire infrastructure budget for 2024, is suspicious.

Furthermore, using his private law firm as legal adviser for abandoned projects across Edo state, collecting fees without delivering results, is unacceptable.

We cannot entrust our future to capacity and competence rooted in fraud and criminality, ignoring the needs of the poor Edo people.

Let's opt for organic political leadership in Edo state with SMO/DENCO and vote APC.
