The people of South Uneme communities, in Edo North, have pledged to ensure that President Bola Tinubu receives 100 per cent of the votes in their domain, following what they described as ‘effective grassroots development of the current administration’ in Edo State and at the federal level.
 
They also affirmed their full support for the Edo State Governor, Mr Monday Okpebholo, and the former Governor of the state and Senator representing Edo North in the National Assembly, Adams Oshiomhole. 
 
Leaders of the various communities, under the auspices of South Uneme Leaders Forum, had, at a meeting held in Fugar, unanimously passed a vote of confidence in Okpebholo’s leadership and that of Oshiomhole, adding that the President has steadied the country’s economy.
 
The Secretary of the forum and former Etsako Central Local Council boss, Ambrose Kevin Akhigbe, told journalists that key resolutions from the meeting include the vote of confidence in Oshiomhole, whose administration constructed a 30km road to Anegbette, Uzanu road and the appointment of Uneme sons and daughters into strategic positions.   

This, according to them, earned him the revered traditional title “Ozemoya of South Uneme,” conferred on him by the Oliola of Anegbette and Clan Head of South Uneme, Alhaji Yakubu Momoh Ugbodaga.
 
He said: “We pledge our electoral unity with the commitment to strengthen South Uneme ahead of local council elections and the 2027 general elections, the mobilisation for voter registration and the resolve to ensure massive participation in the 2025 Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.”
