A Well-Deserved Elevation
On behalf of the people and government of Etsako East Local Government Council, I heartily congratulate Mr. Roland Igbadumhe, fondly called “Youngest Old Man,” on his appointment as Special Assistant on Livestock Development to the Executive Governor of Edo State, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo. This recognition is a testament to your dedication, foresight, and unwavering loyalty to both the Governor and our great party, the All Progressives Congress.
Strength Tested, Character Proven
Your journey has shown what consistency and calm leadership look like, even in challenging moments. Through every season, you have carried yourself with patience, humility, and commitment. Those qualities have not gone unnoticed by the Governor or the APC leadership, and today they have earned you this important responsibility.
Hope for a Stronger Livestock Sector
With this new role, a fresh and brighter chapter opens for livestock development in Edo State. I am confident that your innovative thinking and grassroots connection will bring real value to farmers, rural communities, and the economy of Etsako East and beyond. May this appointment become a blessing to our people and a platform for greater service.
Gratitude and Prayers
I extend sincere appreciation to His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo for this thoughtful appointment, and to our visionary All Progressive Congress, APC State Chairman, Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, for his steadfast leadership.
I pray that Almighty God continues to guide, strengthen, and inspire you as you take on this mandate. May your tenure be marked with progress, impact, and opportunities that uplift every stakeholder in the livestock value chain.
Congratulations once again, Mr. Roland. Etsako East is proud of you, and we look forward to the good work ahead.
