DORRY OKOJIE, A MAN FOR WHOM ACTION SPEAKS.

By Irabor Godwin

When people make boastful, exaggerated, sweet and hyperbolic statements and promises, it is because talk is cheap.

Talking and doing are not in the same compartment. Words are easy to pour out, but doing is a tedious task.

There are people who don't mean what they say, let alone implement them but are very energetic in releasing words.

Dorry Okojie is in a unique class. He stands out and very tall indeed, for being a man whose actions and results speak, far more than what he is willing to express in words.

He allows results to speak for him.

Calm, highly organized and charismatic, his generousity, like morning dews , continues to wet those that chance upon him, pulling down ethnic and religious cleavages.

He combines a robust devotion to principles with a marvelous sense of self discipline.

The doors of his office and home are always open and he never grumbles attending to those who come seeking help or assistance.

His investment in  productive ventures that positively impact society, is balanced equally by his philanthropic gestures. And he does this without noise. He is a role model for those who want to be committed to humanity; and who believe that philanthropy is better expressed through deep convictions in  giving back to society, lifting the poor out of poverty and in the blessings of liberty of cheerful determination.

This Edo born, Dr Dorry Okojie, the entrepreneur, has demonstrated proof, that given the opportunity, he can move Edo to the next level of social and economic greatness.

This is what underpines the confidence Edo people have in him, and therefore see him as the best man for Governor of Edo, come 2024.
