BENIN CITY – The All Progressives Congress (APC) Candidate for Oredo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Dr. Paddy Iyamu, has warmly welcomed the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, to Edo State.

He commended the commissioning of 50 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses by the First Lady, noting that the initiative is a bold step towards modernizing public transportation in Edo State.

He observed that the acquisition of the CNG buses and the synergy for the women’s empowerment programme demonstrate the Governor’s capacity to attract federal partnerships and translate them into tangible benefits for Edo people.
He expressed confidence that the First Lady’s visit will open new vistas for development, social investment, and economic prosperity for Edo State.
