Edo 2024; Umakhihe assures Edolites of good health system, Water, Others
…As campaign train Hits Uromi, Ubiaja Esan South East, North North East
The Gubernatorial Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Dr. Ernest Umakhihe on Thursday appealed to the people of Esan and Igueben communities to give him more work by nominating him for the forthcoming primaries election, and he will make water and teacher salaries his priority.
Umakhihe said this at his campaign train visit to Esan North East (Uromi), Esan South East (Ubiaja), and Igueben (Igueben) senatorial districts.
According to him, my fathers, my mothers, brothers, sisters, and my friends, the message I brought today is that if you agree that I have done well, with this chronicle that I gave you people of my experience.
“And what I have done, then you should reward me. They say the reward of hard work is more work, so give me more work by voting and nominate me as APC gubernatorial candidate.
“I know that the problem in Esan Land is water, and we must find a solution; it’s not rocket science; there is water under the ground; there is no science about why we cannot get water.
“Is just to go down and you will get the water, so it will be a priority to get water in this Edo central.”
The gubernatorial aspirant pledges to revolutionise agriculture and teachers in schools, as well as doctors and nurses in the various clinics in the States.
“And I know we have good soil and land for farms; rice was grown all around, so we will encourage you people to grow rice again in all seasons, not only in the rainy season.
“We will hire tractors that farmers can hire to prepare their land, then do irrigation facilities for farmers; that is how we will tackle agriculture; I will bring agricultural revolution down to this state.
“I know we have school buildings, but teachers are being paid by the community; that will stop. I will recruit teachers, train them, and retrain them so that they can have a positive impact on our own children.
“Paying teachers full salaries will motivate them to impact knowledge on our children. We know that there are clinics but no staff, no doctors, and nurses. Once I get there, I will tackle those things; I will overdo roads and streetlights.“

Riyadh 2025: Nigeria’s Boxing Contingent Departs for Saudi Arabia
Joel Ajayi
Team Nigeria’s boxing contingent has officially departs the shores of the country for Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ahead of the 6th edition of the Islamic Solidarity Games, taking place from November 7 to 21, 2025.
The team forms a vital part of Nigeria’s contingent at the multi-sport event, which gathers athletes from across over 55 nations globally. Nigeria’s participation reflects the nation’s commitment to expanding its global sporting profile and using sport as a tool for unity, national pride, and youth development.
Chief de Mission, Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, described the Riyadh Games as a “crucial aspect of Nigeria’s strategic sports development plan,” emphasizing that the event serves as both a test of preparation and a pathway toward greater international success, including at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
He reaffirmed the NSC’s commitment to ensuring that Nigerian athletes receive the necessary support to excel on global platforms.
“This is more than just another international competition; it is a vital stepping-stone for our athletes toward Olympian ambitions,” Hon. Bukola Olopade said ahead of the team’s departure.
“Our team is prepared, focused, and hungry for success. We carry the hopes of the nation with us to Riyadh,” Hon. Olopade added.
Nigeria has maintained a strong presence at the Games since the inaugural edition in 2005. Over the years, the country’s athletes have recorded success across various sporting categories.
The contingent is led by experienced coaches and supported by technical staff dedicated to achieving peak performance levels.
As the competition gets set to begin in Riyadh, all eyes will be on the Nigerian contingent to deliver a performance that reinforces the country’s reputation as one of Africa’s leading sporting nations.
