For Esanland to be a better place for us and the future generation to live in, the legacies we are leaving behind, should be better than the legacy we met...these are the words of Hon. Prince Odianosen Okojie, the member representing Esan North East/Esan South East constituency in the National Assembly, NASS, when making reference to the the slogan, 'A New Edo Is Rising', that is currently making the rounds in Edo state today.

Hon. Prince Odianosen Okojie said this, in an exclusive chat with Winning Media Online, during the weekend.


Hon. Odianosen Okojie, who said; "...the way things are going, we cannot pretend that all is well in Nigeria, and particularly in Edo State, with the excruciating pains that we experience daily as a result of the poor leadership that we assisted to enthrone in the past..."


"...we must be resolute in changing our narrative, and ensure that only our best foot, with the right mix of good Leadership qualities emerge to represent us at every level of governance, as the legacies we leave behind, should be better than what we met; this way, our society will move from height to height and we will all be better for it..."


Hon. Prince Okojie, who maintained that, under his watch, as the Senator representing, Edo central at the National Assembly, Esanland will become a model that other Senatorial districts in Edo state will copy from; concluded by saying; "Governance is not rocket science, but we only need to ensure that the right persons are occupying the right positions".
