Dear Esteemed happy and highly industrious people of Edo State, very resourceful brothers, sisters, friends and associates,
*HAPPY NEW YEAR !*
We are in a season of mixed feelings because undoubtedly, 2020 was a rather strange and challenging year that changed totality of our way of life in Nigeria, Africa & in the world. Sadly, a number of lives have been changed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. I urge everyone to remember all those who have passed on owing to the virus. My heartfelt condolences to the families of those claimed by both the pandemic and other causes. May their souls rest in peace, Amen !
On a joyful note, it is indeed delightsome that we are alive and well, hale and hearty. This calls for us to be thankful as a people for making it thus far. Please permit me to say it again,
*Happy new year and welcome to 2021.*
With this, I formally present to you a youngman with bold and fresh ideas that represents this generation, who is willing to revive our almost lost hope/trust in community service & leadership.
*THE MAN IS: GODFREY EBASABOR*
Godfrey Ebasabor was born 38 years ago into the family of Chief and Mrs Ebasabor. He is a proud Esan man in and out. An indigene of Edo State--the heart beat of the Nation. Godfrey hails from Isua Arue village in Uromi, Esan North East local Government area of Edo State. He had both his primary and secondary Education in Benin City.
As an estute, creative & innovative entrepreneur, and a knowledge seeker he moved to Canada to further build himself economically as well as acquire people's / resources management skills which he considers very relevant to be reproduced at home at a time such vacuum will be filled for the benefit of the people.
Godfrey to many, is an epitome of humility, well travelled & exposed enough to appreciate the plight of the ordinary people, their needs and how to replicate the provision of those basic and rudimentary necessities of life as it is fashionable and obtainable in the developed world. He is a principled gentleman and a unifier. A man who naturally sees positions, politics and leadership a personal selfless service to the community, state & Nation rather than a means for massive acquisition of wealth.
The young and energetic Ebasabor is a gentleman par excellence, a philanthropist who is always accessible. He is a giver, highly reserved, engaging and constructive even in expressing divergent views with anyone.
All his sojourn in life, both home and abroad have been mostly through hardwork, self efforts and not by government patronage. His humble background gave him sufficient knowledge about issues at the community level. The struggles he unintentionally experienced over the years while growing up have successfully sharped his orientation and redirected his mind to one single motto:
*THE PEOPLE FIRST.*
Godfrey have been within and around us over the years, mentoring the younger minds even from a far. For some of us who have monitored his carriage and charisma first hand, I want to announce to you on a personal note that he is a good messenger. Even at the risk of sounding too optimistic, he will be of immense value addition and helpful to his immediate community, state and the nation even more than he already is.
Mr Ebasabor is a firm believer of the transformational agenda of our dear governor, “ the wake and see" governor of Edo State, H.E, Gov. Godwin Obaseki and his very effective team. He is a strong supporter of the big umbrella family,
*THE PDP*
Dear friends, ask me anyday if I have seen a honest and trustworthy fellow of recent, I will gladly show you
*GODFREY EBASABOR*
He has brought great intellectual touch to lives of families and friends, associates and the community.
*SEND HIM AND CONSIDER YOUR MESSAGE DELIVERED*
Keep staying safe, Covid is still with us.
