Darkness Envelops Edo State Central As 100KVA Generator Disappears

As I write this, my heart bleeds as a result of the terrible state of the Benin Central Hospital which has remained without electricity for the past three days.

In as much as some of you get paid by the government to spread falsehood, half truths, portray a good image and sing the praises of the government, we should at least have the guts to call a spade a spade when it has to do with the welfare of the masses. We should stop the pretence that all is well, when indeed all is not.

It is heart breaking that our frontline workers (health practitioners) some of whom happen to be my former classmates and colleagues as well as patients and relatives are caught up in this disgusting situation.

This is definitely not the first time such is happening in the hospital especially in the Ob/Gyn building particularly the Labor rooms and Maternity wards.

This is the same hospital that was equipped with stand by generators of 1000 kva before this present administration but were removed by God knows who for no just cause.

And in this same dirty environment is where registration cards are sold for N5,000 naira and normal delivery now cost over N100,000 naira in a supposed state govt facility.

It’s rather unfortunate to say that the Obaseki government has left governance for politics.

If Mr. Governor no longer has the capacity and will power to change the narrative in our health sector and other key areas pertaining to our State, then he should honorably resign his seat and give way for a more competent gentleman to do the needful in reviving the health sector of our dear State.
