The Benin Industrial Park (BIP) project initiated by the Governor Godwin Obaseki administration is fully on course and not suffering any setback whatsoever.

The project is currently being developed at a considerably rapid pace. Government is already receiving subscription requests for space within the facility from investors within and outside the country. To buttress this, three co-developers have already indicated interest to work on the project, even as we expect that over 1000 companies will be hosted at the park.

Also, it appears that the tale bearers within the Edo Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have forgotten that there is harmony in governance between the Federal Government and the Edo State Government. It is laughable that they will try to concoct a non-existent feud between both levels of government, which are being efficiently run under the same political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

It is understandable that some people within the ailing Edo PDP, who do not wish Edo people well, are apprehensive about the huge success being recorded by the Obaseki administration in industrialising the state. They are worried by the frenetic pace with which major industrialization projects in the state, including the Benin Industrial Park, Gelegele Seaport and others are being implemented. So they are concocting lies and outright falsehoods with the intention of misinforming Edo people and Nigerians.

As a government, we want to warn the actors within the Edo PDP, responsible for the propagation of this falsehood, to be well guided by the popular Bini proverb that says, “agha run de oghionmwan ru aro, amiaro na ya ghe ose omwan” translated as “if you go blind because of disdain for your enemies, you will have no eyes to see your friends.”

Chris Nehikhare and his fellow purveyors of the falsehood against the BIP should remember that by the time Obaseki completes the development of the park, some of their relatives, friends and well-wishers may find gainful employment and economic opportunities there, so they should not attempt to rubbish the project with their pettiness, shameless lies and falsehood.

We therefore call on all Edo people, Nigerians and actors within the global private sector space to disregard the comments of the Edo PDP against the BIP and other economic projects as mere lies told out of political bias.

I think this is getting out of hand. How can PDP be jealous of the current development we are experiencing in the state? They had their chance and what did they do with it

Edo PDP is simply drowning, and you know what happens to a drowning man? He tends to grope around, grabbing just anything, even thing air.

Chris Nehikhare and PDP ought to be ashamed of themselves. Zero fact!!!

Edo PDP have completely lost touch with reality.

Edo people have eyes and they can see. A lot of the Edo people are far more learned and abreast of deveopment happening in the state than the PDP fraction thinks.

You cant fool us Chris Osa Nehikare

And I sincerely wonder when they will come to know that Edo people are now wiser.

Even the blind can not afford to have PDP back into the frame. Your propaganda clearly can not turn our heads against deveopment. We have see the light.

This Edo PDP sef.... Una mumu never do?

Actualization of the current EdoProject would shut PDP for good. We cant wait to see the commissioning of these projects at the stipulated time given by the govt. There is no need to go into war of words with any fraction. Let the realisation do the talking. By the way, i think the PDP are the losers here.

Governor Obaseki is doing perfectly well as can be attested to by his people. He should remain focused on his good works, and never allow himself be distracted by this Edo PDP.

Idiotic pigs of Biafra party, that is how they behaves, enemy of progressive

Edo people, mek una shine una eye wella. Na the best of all Nigerian governors una get ooo!

Does anyone really want the PDP to come back to Edo state? These guys contributed nothing to the state, we are backward simply because of their lack of developmental ideas. The days of share the money is over.
Embrace the change in Edo state. Edo state was in doom from 1999 to the day the APC came to our rescue.

True talk. A man that just in one year in office has achieved a lot, far above the states that receive the bigger chunk from the federation account.

My people, never be deceived by the lies of this our brothers in PDP.

Let the light of Gov Obaseki and APC so shine so that these PDP detractors and saboteurs won't have a hiding place. Imagine a fantastically laudable project like the BIP still getting knocks from Nehikhare and his jobless fellows.

It simply baffles me that full-grown-men will choose to do basically nothing positive to accelerate the advancement of their own state.

This pull-him-down syndrome being exhibited by the Edo PDP should please end now.

You have said it all my brother.

What shall it profit some men to pull down their own Edo homeland just in the name politics?

Edo PDP, enough is enough!

Now, I understand that the PDP don't have eyes to see and that their main aim of coming into power is not for development, but for their personal interest, seeing what Governor Obaseki is doing now as good as the one blind people see.

Quite philosophical.

My advice to the remnants of Edo PDP is to stop looking for fault lines where there is none. They should also stop manufacturing lies in the name of politics. Come up with constructive ideas that will take this state even higher, and I am sure that our practical governor, with his listening ear, will listen and carry along any good idea you may bring to the table.

The truth is that if PDP want to govern this Edo State, with this same mindset, they already have missed it; it will not work for them this way, except they first change their mindset, because if they look at it now, they are been beating 11-0, this is as a result of their own character,Thank you.

Wise talk Ehis, but I think they are bereft of good ideas.

The anointing of God upon this state will not allow any wrong thing Like PDP to work out in Edo State, because there are a lot on ground for the government is doing more and more even if they the PDP do not know that time is really of the essence instead of wasting the time that is been used now working.Thank you, Governor Obaseki.

Something so wonderful is going on right now,i feel, i feel the wind of working Government and Edo States will, must always want to move on forward as ways to see more great things as we working on taking Edo State to the best state among the best states in the world.Thank You Governor Obaseki.

You mountains call PDP, you have moved and been pull down, no matter how you look huge, you can no longer block our Joy..Thank you
