There is a brewing dispute between Senator Adams Oshiomole and the good people of Ubiane community in Ayuele clan, Etsako West council area
If not handled properly, it may develop into a full blown crisis of confidence between the distinguished senator and one of his major support base
During the campaign for the Edo North senatorial seat, Sen Oshiomole was said to have promised to give priority attention to the construction of the Ubiane-Aviele road once he was elected infact specifically, his constituency project.
Two years down the lane, Sen Oshiomole seems to have reneged on his promise, with the condition of the road now worse than before.
Agitated and angry some aggrieved Ubiane community members decided to release a video, which has since gone viral, depicting the time and place the senator allegedly made the promise
He was reported to have made the promise while soliciting votes ahead of the March 23, 2023, national assembly election
Sen Oshiomole is the former APC National Chairman, Edo state governor and also hails from Uzairue clan, Etsako West council area
According to Ubiane community sources, the reason behind the viral video may not be far-fetched
A community told *Borderline News 24* that there is no sinister motive behind the release of the viral video, stressing it was a last resort to remind the distinguished senator of his promise
Riding on the crest of his popularity and status as the Edo APC leader, the aide of the fiery former NLC President have gone to town to release his account of stewardship”
He outlined a long list of projects Sen Oshiomole attracted to the senatorial zone, either at advanced or completed stages
There are, however, many who still believe Sen Oshiomole has not done enough as a senator to justify the accolades being poured on him
The number of those in this category continue to grow with each passing day.
The general perception is that the performance of Sen Oshiomole has been most riddled with several unfulfilled promises
But in a bid to douse the rising tension and also set the records straight, Mr Victor Oshioke, Sen Oshiomole’s Personal Assistant in a published Senator Oshimole’s Achievements in office on social media acknowledged that his principal, indeed, made such a promise during the campaign.
A section of the publication read thus,
“One project which is dear to the senator’s heart, but which he has not yet accomplished because of the limits of his constituency budget, is the Ubiane road, which he publicly promised to fix during the 2023 campaign.”
” The Senator has held conversations with state and federal government agencies on the subject and received credible assurances that construction work will commence on the Ubiane-Aviele road during the period of his first tenure in office. It is a promise he made and it is a promise that will be fulfilled”
It is, however, not yet certain whether this explanation would appease the aggrieved people of Ubiane community .
