"One of the problems we have in this country, is not the initiation of ideas, but the implementation of same. Senator Okpebholo needs seasoned people with the requisite experience and set skills who can help in delivering the right policies".

Continuing, High Chief Benson Odaman, advised Senator Okpebholo not to allow himself to be defocused by those he called 'political landlords ', and that, he should focus on rendering the dividends of democracy to the people of Edo state, and in doing so, he should address the lopsidedness in term of development in Edo state. 

He concluded by saying, Edo people will assess him based on the extent to which he is able to reduce the poverty indices in the state.
