Residents of Sobe community in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State and the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Hon. Blessing Agbebaku, have disagreed over the delayed restoration of electricity supply to the community.
The residents alleged that Sobe has been without electricity for more than eight years despite repeated assurances from the Speaker over the past three years that power would be restored.
In a letter addressed to Agbebaku and signed by Prince Ogbeta Joseph, the community said the consistent response they had received was an appeal for patience.
The residents expressed disappointment over what they described as unfulfilled promises, recalling that the Speaker had, during the Sobe Day celebration in September, promised to donate N1 million to the community and work with Governor Monday Okpebholo to restore electricity before December.
