— As Edo Central Senatorial District Gears Up for 2025 Bye-Election
In the quiet yet politically vibrant community of Uromi, Esan North-East Local Government Area, a new chapter in leadership is unfolding — and at the centre of it is Prince Joseph Okojie, fondly called *Joe* by admirers and constituents alike.
Once a Commissioner for Agriculture under Governor Godwin Obaseki’s administration, Prince Joe Okojie is being called upon by his people to step into a higher role — that of a national representative in the Senate, under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The growing clamor from the grassroots is a testament not just to his popularity, but to the transformative legacy he has quietly built over the years.
As Commissioner, Okojie was instrumental in repositioning Edo State as an agricultural hub. Under his stewardship, the state recorded significant strides in food security and livelihood empowerment. He prioritized inclusivity by initiating programs aimed at uplifting women and youth — turning agriculture from subsistence to sustenance and empowerment.
Yet, it is his philanthropy that resonates most deeply among the people. From educational scholarships for indigent students to empowerment schemes for widows and small-scale entrepreneurs, his impact cuts across the socioeconomic spectrum.
Anthony Eigbe, an indigen of Edo Central, captured the sentiment of many: “I have seen and witnessed how Joe has impacted the lives of students and widows. His scholarship initiatives speak volumes about the premium he places on education and capacity building.”
Eigbe continued with conviction: “I have no doubt that he will represent Edo Central excellently. His track record at the community level assures us that this developmental vision will be scaled at the national level. He is not just a politician — he is a builder of futures.”
As the 2025 Edo Central Senatorial District bye-election approaches, the momentum behind Prince Joe Okojie continues to swell. What began as murmurs of appreciation have crescendoed into a political movement — a rallying cry for credible, competent, and compassionate leadership.
In a powerful address delivered by stakeholders of the Prince Joe Okojie Movement, the message was clear: “We are not supporting Prince Joe Okojie out of sentiment. Our support is rooted in merit and performance. He has touched lives in tangible ways — in Edo Central, across Edo State, and even beyond.”
The statement continued: “He is a bridge between the grassroots and the corridors of power, a voice of reason in national discourse, and a dependable development partner. With Joe, we stand for integrity, competence, and the hope of a better tomorrow.”
As the political tide turns in Edo Central, one name continues to echo with unwavering clarity — Prince Joe Okojie. A silent achiever. A proven reformer. A man whose actions have spoken louder than words — and whose next chapter may well be written in the hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate.
The journey to 2025 has begun. And Edo Central may just be on the brink of sending one of its finest to the national stage.
