  THANK YOU MESSAGE  The primary election of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has come and gone. In the months leading up to the primaries, I spoke to many party members at their doorsteps / wards and heard clearly as they summarily submitted their concern particularly the lack of jobs and infrastructural development. I had hoped to assemble these desires of our people, refine, improve and develop them into workable plans and negotiate/secure the necessary resources and opportunities required to realize our set goals, including engaging other HOR members to produce a formidable and properly negotiated documents guided by the principles of true federalism and the supremacy of the Rule of Law. This was my message of effective representation via the RESTORATION Agenda and it was borne out of a burning desire for a better Nigeria and particularly our constituency. .  Although the outcome did not turn out the way we had hoped, however, I am grateful to God no life was lost

 YOUR SIGNATURES; AN ATTESTATION OF YOUR COMMITMENT AND APPROVAL TO BETTER THE LOTS OF EGOR/IKPOBA-OKHA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY ~ Hon. Anthony Igiehon Today as always, you did confirm your approval by appending your signatures as a testament of your nomination. Indeed, I remain grateful to all our leaders and teeming supporters.  Quite frankly, I am confident more than ever, hopefully energised and optimistic not blindly but factually that a lot more can be done to revive the fortunes of Egor and Ikpoba-Okha. With faith, sacrifice, and the appropriate measure of dexterity and temerity, let us put our rhetorics to work as we realize our collective destiny. Evidently, tomorrow's gaze is long fixed on the need to restore our federal constituency. I implore you all, join your hands with mine on the arc of history and together, let's bend it once more towards the hope of a better tomorrow. HON. ANTHONY IGIEHON is an aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for Egor/Ikpoba-Okha

  TODAY, I, HON. ANTHONY IGIEHON PICKED MY NOMINATION AND EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FORM TO CONTEST THE EGOR/IKPOBA-OKHA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY SEAT Several weeks ago, I answered your clarion call for service and offered myself for election as member representing Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency in the green chambers of National Assembly and on the platform of our great party; the All Progressives Congress (APC). Long after that declaration, I have continued to transverse the 20 wards that make up the Federal Constituency in consultation and you, the leaders and people did shower me with overwhelming support stretching every remote and metropolitan area. Indeed, I remain grateful. However, the need to elevate the status of our collective aspiration became much more imperative in the days that followed. In obedience laced in faith and courage, and in the company of friends, family and innumerable political associates and leaders, I purchased the nomination and expression of interest for

~ Hon. Tony Igiehon To be effective as a leader, focusing on set goals is expedient while having an uncommon belief in the realization of such goals. Good leaders don’t and will never say, *“it’s just a job,” or “I just work there.”* They care about what they do, they care about the promises, assurances and commitments that they have made because to them there exist a most singular and potent reason for their service- the people they lead and work for and whose principled followership they have the rare opportunity to satisfy. Without sounding thrasonical, this is what I am trained and tailored for- finding solutions to difficult problems, providing answers to hard questions no matter how long it may take and springing up novel ideas to meet the demands of an ever evolving world of challenges. As I look forward to representing you in the green chambers of the National Assembly, I will always keep in mind the goals that we both set at the beginning, and fix my gaze on the bigger picture

Hon Anthony Igiehon, a frontrunner for the APC House of Representatives in the Egor/Ikpoba Okha Federal Constituency, has praised Nigerian workers' tenacity in the face of economic adversity. The young politician urged Nigerian workers not to be discouraged by the country's current economic troubles, but rather to put their hearts and souls into their job, and they will certainly succeed. The following is a portion of his May Day message: "I honestly utilize this day to honor our nation's workers; they have made us proud, and the country's growth and progress would not be complete without them." I applaud their fortitude and unwavering commitment to providing services to many sectors; your commitment to duty, despite the severe economic challenges we face in our country, is commendable, and your courage is invaluable." Hon Igiehon also encouraged the workers to hold out hope for better days ahead. "Every worker is entitled to higher salaries and suit

  Now the Big Question is, Who Takes over EGOR/IKPOBA OKHA green Chamber comes 2023? Apparently, when leadership is talked about, those qualified to be called leaders are those who have the leadership acumen, wealth of experience, agility, and the ability to foster peace, unity, and development in society.  Leadership isn't about showing off without having anything to do for the people who give you their best in making sure you sit on the throne. Moreover, in regards to the politics of EGOR/IKPOBA OKHA federal constituency and who occupies the Green Chamber comes 2023 which remains a topicality issue among EGOR/IKPOBA OKHA People at the moment, the perfect choice of Aspirant is HON ANTHONY IGIEHON. He is the Man that fits the job, and He is the one the cap fits, and that's because He is experienced, dogged, fluent, accessible, and possesses all that is required of a leader, and with all of that, his kind is what EGOR/IKPOBA OKHA Federal constituency needs to tow the path. ©️A

~ Hon. Anthony Igiehon In the absence of effective communication, information can be misinterpreted while relationships may strain leading to avoidable barriers that hinder progress. This is why if a better society is to be built, one that is more just and true, one that provides greater cooperation with its people, then those of us saddled with the responsibility to stand in the gap for others must open a channel of communication wherein constant dialogue and feedback can be routed. Avenues such as town hall meetings will be established and maintained in the course of my service to the good people of Egor/Ikpoba-Okha federal constituency as this will enhance my capacity to deliver on every electioneering promise. My honesty, sincerity of purpose and transparency will serve as an example for all knowing that the people are a reflection of myself. This is vital in order to earn their trust, align efforts in the direction of set goals, and to inspire positive change. I will be active in

        Hon ANTHONY IGIEHON, the foremost APC House of Representatives aspirant for Egor/Ikpoba-Okha constituency represents a new bred of Nigerian politics.  The political brand construct that Hon ANTHONY IGIEHON will help orchestrate into the Nigeria's political mainstay is a rapidly evolving culture aimed at creating a new paradigm for mass engagement and peoples' empowerment to take root. Understanding this choice evolution through these lenses is valuable.                                             At the heart of this choice is a brand of politics based on superiority of ideas, and practical ideologue that will eventually force political parties in Nigeria to build lines of obligation that link the brand to the values of a modern state and by extention a vibrant modern digital economy.  The ultimate goal is to bring new knowledge pitch and innovation to governance in Nigeria. Hon ANTHONY IGIEHON has the personal conviction that this NEW DEAL will usher a period of shared

  By  Hon. Anthony Igiehon Anyone can sit in the comfort of his office and delegate tasks or accept the hypocrisy of his staff that all is well with their endeavour, but there is more to effective leadership than that. For me, being effective as a leader involves being abreast with existing realities and with a complimentary dexterity to act accordingly. Such actions impact not only those you manage or who work with you, but more importantly those whose mandate you are privileged enough to carry. In serving them, titles or even accolades amounts to naught. This is so because representative leadership is much more meaningful and profound when it meets the needs of the people. In tandem with this truth, my consultation visits to the 20 wards that make up the Federal Constituency of Egor/Ikpoba-Okha has been submerged in factual needs assessment an essential tool in any functional society. Strategically, I have assembled these desires of our people and in fairness they are neither overbo

Hon. Igiehon's love for knowledge has always been a driving force. Following his brief stint with Exxonmobil, he proceeded to the United States of America (USA) having been offered a postgraduate admission by

  The APC EGOR/IKPOBA OKHA Federal constituency House of Representatives aspirant, HON ANTHONY IGIEHON has felicitated with Christians in the entire Egor/Ikpoba Okha Constituency and the world over on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration, urging them to pray for continued peace and stability of the state as well as Nigeria in general. In a goodwill message, Hon Igiehon stated: "The Easter period provides an opportunity for strengthening of unity of purpose, reinforcement of bond of brotherhood and dedication in service to God and humanity as exemplified by Jesus Christ." He said: “Easter symbolises love, sacrifice, service to God and country as well as triumph of good over evil. We should always reflect on the lessons and significance of the season and demonstrate the same in our lives. “On this occasion of Easter feast, I want to enjoin my Christian brothers and sisters in Egor and Ikpoba Okha Local Government Areas and the world over to continue to demonstrate

  Good leaders are those individuals amongst us who are charged with the responsibility of leading the majority of us. They give their most as their commitment to hard work and excellence knows no bound. As such, celebrating them in a world laced by injustice, greed and inhumanity is a kind gesture that is worth the effort, especially on their birthdays. Today, we celebrate Barr. Gentleman Amegor, a dutiful leader whose guidance and direction have been truly resourceful and inspirational. May your birthday bless you with all the courage and strength you require to continue performing your role as outstandingly as you do. Amen. CONGRATULATIONS SIR!   HON. ANTHONY IGIEHON, Aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency, Edo State.

  My dear brother, I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your wife. Losing a partner is a tragedy with devastating effects and as such words would be certainly inadequate to describe how you must be feeling as you say goodbye to the woman you loved like no other. Hence, my thoughts are with you during this time of unimaginable grief.  Your wife Olabisi will be greatly missed by all those who were lucky enough to know her. She was dutiful, kind, very supportive and had a positive influence on everyone around her. I beseech you to find peace and love in her beautiful memories. As I appeal to the Almighty God to guide you through this period and help lead you to some tranquility, it is my sincere prayer that her wonderful soul will continue to rest in His bossom. Amen.  Please accept my condolences. HON. ANTHONY IGIEHON

  Yesterday, I had another rare opportunity to visit the palace of our beloved and highly revered monarch, the Omo N'Oba N'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, Oba of Benin under the auspices of Ogbakha-Edo, a social-cultural group whose membership I hold dearly. The primary objective of the group is to unite Edo indigenes all over the world for the purpose of ensuring effective rebuilding, a holistic growth of our people as well as a result oriented leadership. Listening to His Royal Majesty was reassuring and we didn't fail to reaffirm our continued loyalty to his glorious reign. Chinua Achebe wrote in the 1958 best seller- Things Fall Apart, *"If a child washes his hands, he could eat with Kings".* Therefore, I am rather humbled, honoured and privileged than proud to be considered a son of this historic palace and will never seize to join hands with my fellow indigenes in contributing to the betterment of the lives of our people socioeconomically.

  The person you choose as your aspirant must not only have a good reputation but as well have a good record of transparency, visionary, Human empowerment, humility, dedication to the party and love for the people.

The holy month of Ramadan is very significant for Muslims around the world because it is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.  The season does not only afford the opportunity to purify the mind, body, heart, and soul by fasting and praying but also creates the chance for rededication to self-sacrifices such as abstinence, self-preservation and absolute devotion to the Almighty Allah. As I felicitate with our Muslim brothers and sisters all over Edo State and particularly those in Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency, it is my sincere prayer that the divinity of this holy month shall fill your hearts with peace, harmony and unending joy.  Ramadan Mubarak to you all!

  Loyalty To A true course is one quality that deserves to be rewarded in all aspects of life. Not only does one need to be loyal, but also commitment and dedication also matters a lot. These are few out of many of the good attributes of Hon Dame Vera Sadoh. Dame Vera Sadoh , since her early involvement in her ward politics till national level, from PDP till she became an APC member, has always been known for her great works, dedication, loyalty and commitment to her party. She has always used all her resources to ensure the growth of her party in all ways. And this has help her in always winning Elections with high percentage for the party in Her Unit & Ward Level. Hon Dame Vera Sadoh is a Women, Youths, Men & Children Mobilizer who is so much loved by everyone who has ever met or heard about her. It is because of the love, trust and respect the people have for her, that makes them follow her and seek for her directions and advices politically. Example of such show of love an

  Due to ignorance and phobia for the female gender in the past, they were restricted to mere house chores: housekeeping, kitchen staffs and bed warmers & baby sitters. Africans never cared so much about their daughters except it was time to collect a huge sum of money and farm products on her head as dowry. This practices have long been abolished since the coming of the Western ways of Living and modern Educational Practices. However, it's on note that some people still want to restrict their wifes' to the domestic ways of living even if that woman is educated and this leaves one to ask; Would there be any Twin or Triplet babies today in the country if Miss Mary Slesor was restricted to the kitchen? Who would have named this country as NIGERIA if Miss Flora Shaw (Lady Flora Lugard) was restricted to washing plates and serving as a baby sitter? Amongst the plethora of women inventors and history makers, They were free to do as they desired and they reached greater heights t

 HON DAME VERA SADOH PLANS BIG FOR ETSAKO YOUTHS & WOMEN During an interview session with Hon Dame Vera Sadoh on Tuesday 8th of March, 2022, she disclosed the great plans she has for the youths and women of the Federal Constituency if voted to represent at the Federal House Of Representatives.  While speaking to newsmen, she claimed the youths and women have been neglected for too long and it was time to make a difference by involving them in government and gainfully empowering them. She said: "The main reason for the high level of insecurity in the country today is because of lack of jobs for youths and poverty in the sides of the mothers. I have mapped out a plan on how to engage the youths when I am voted into office. We have so many skills which we can teach to these young men and we have so many empowerment programs which we can include our women in. We have Shoe Making, Fish Farming, Poultry, Catering, Interior Decorations and so much more. We can set the youths in all a

  An Aspirant for the position of Member Representing Etsako Federal Constituency In House Of Representatives under the All Progressive Party (APC) sent her warm wishes to all Etsako Women on the occasion of International Women's Day Celebration. Dame Vera described women as the brain behind the success of any household and nation in general. She said; "A woman is not only a mother but also a community builder and the brain box of any Nation. When you train a woman, you train a whole nation. And When you neglect a woman, you have neglected a whole nation. Today I am proud of being not just a woman but also I am a woman who actively participates in the politics of the nation. I am using this opportunity to call on the builders of Nations, The Teachers of Men and All Mothers, to show more interest in nation's building and politics as it is the natural duty assigned to them as women." Hon Vera Sadoh also used the opportunity to call on the men to treat their wives, siste

I have attended different party rallys and campaigns. I have seen people sacrifice their time, bodies and sweats just to see their political parties succeed in all aspect. But there was something I saw during the APC Governorship Train's First Visit To Anegbette Community which made me realize there were people who are so loyal to their party that they would do anything humanly possible to see the party winning... I believe everyone knows this story because it became the talk of the day not only in APC but also in other political parties. So I am going to just hint us and remind us of what we all know. After Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu & His Governorship Train left Udochi that particular day, the sky changed and meanwhile, the people of Anegbette Community were still waiting and expecting the Train so as to show their supports. Before everyone got to Anegbette, it already started raining and it was really pouring down heavily. I was sitting inside the bus reserved for the Media Tea

 . March 7, 2022 The concept of continuity of people-oriented public policies in governance is not alien to the great people of Edo North Senatorial district and beyond. It is clearly a philosophy that is widely encouraged and recommended especially in nascent democracies, with Nigeria not an exception.  In recent times, this indispensable philosophy and or approach to governance is being widely discussed by incumbents and citizenry alike, in view of the impulsive nature of politics and general politicking in Edo North Senatorial District, and Nigeria at large. Records abound that the moment a new government from a different political party, or a fresh elected man or woman replaces an incumbent, on-going projects, programmes and policies are usually abandoned, ridiculed and terminated, and that accounts for how and why the Fruits Juice factory in Ehor, The fertilizer company in Auchi, and others, were abandoned and have today remained moribund.  It is ubiquitous that public

I have seen women participating in politics and only going for positions within local government areas, some restricting themselves to be mere supporters and followers even when they possess the potential to be greater than those they support. Today, I am going to talk about a woman who has shown to the great people of Etsako How capable she is when it comes to good representation and better welfarism for the people. Hon Dame Vera Sado is a woman who I respect so much and she is a tested, loyal and trusted party member and she is also a person who cares so much for the people. I was opportune to have a one on one discussion with Dame Vera and I asked her; "Ma, What do you have to offer to your people if you are opportune to be in a political position tomorrow?" She replied me in such a way that I was so moved by the Passion this woman have for the people she plans to represent. Dame Vera over the years, has been a very loyal party woman, a dedicated community builder and a fr
