The foremost group further said that having served in various representative positions as Councilor, Council Chairman, Member, Edo State House of Assemby and two-term Member of the House of Representatives, the entire Afenmai community expects Engr Momoh to as usual demonstrate why he is generally seen as a politician with a nose for grassroot/community development.
“Although his current assignment is one that puts the entire Nation and Edo State in his portfolio, nevertheless, we implore him to work assiduously to bring the dividends of democracy closer home to the long suffering Afenmai Communities.
“Social challenges of poor infrastructural development, high rate of youth unemployment, improvised peasant farmers, unending insecurity amongst others abound in Afenmai land. Being a grassroot politician who is very familiar with these challenges, we expect nothing less than him taking up this appointment by the scruff on the neck and creating a pathway to helping to ameliorating these challenges”
