 Will-powered Washington Osifo: Of exposure, experience, and expertise

~ Liberty 'Ruyi

One of the most captivating and motivating openings of a publication appears to tell the tale of a brave warrior who was almost overpowered but survived by exceptional willpower, the story of uprightness being led to prison to protect falsehood from shame.

This is the story of Dr. Washington Osifo. A thoughtful mind, generous spirit, and eloquent voice that serves as a modest inspiration to Edo youths in politics. The attempt to silence him by Godwin Obaseki and his co-travelers finally failed with his nomination by Governor Monday Okpebholo as Commissioner. What a day to behold.

The unyielding Osifo fought to be a voice for the relegated 14 members-elect of the Edo State House of Assembly and stood firmly on the part of truth and justice, yet, against blackmail, political and financial setbacks, he was unbendable in the demonstration of willpower, that will remain a political reference for decades.

The track record of Osifo in governance is one that is most admirable. From his early days as Director of Legal Services at the Edo State Oil and Gas Producing Areas Development Commission, EDSOGPADEC to his short stunt at the Uhunmwode Local Government Council to his glory days of service as Edo State Commissioner for Education and later Commissioner for Energy and Water Resources, Dr. Washington Osifo has demonstrated exceptional abilities to translate ideas into crafted vision and pulled them through to concrete achievements.

Laced with exposure of the demand of the street being a commoner, the strength of his education and quality of mentorship cum his inherent gift of the gab has become a veritable tool for any government that wants to make commendable impact and leave lasting memories of an excellent performance.

. His legal training contributes to his ability to stay within the confines of the law while pushing drastic changes envisioned for progress. He is most sought after by those who are abreast with his credentials and track record to serve where a perfect image of government is desired.

As Dr. Washington Osifo takes the mantle, I envisage a ministry ready for a remarkable leap, one that will stand as a reference for progress made by the Okpebholo administration. I anticipate a standout ministry without prejudice to others and the competence of their various heads. I know Dr. Washington Osifo and I can guarantee what he is capable of bringing to the table.

I am also sure fate has brought him here once more, not for this immediate task but to reinforce the foundation for the people's task that rests divinely on his shoulders at a point in history. The Washington Osifo story is not one of the immediate but one that will be told for a long time; of exposure, experience, and expertise in public service.
