Benin City: The Deputy Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly and member representing Orhionmwon South constituency, Rt. Hon. Roland Osadebamwen Asoro has cleared the air on the recent Health challenges faced by His Personal Assistant, Mr. Prince Ehis Iyen who is currently on sick bed at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), following a previous diagnosis of Kidney failure, which calls for urgent Kidney transplant.
There have been series of reactions by well meaning Nigerians upon the revealing of the trending video of the victim on various social media platforms, specifically the publication of expensive lapoon and allegation titled "Be Stingy: Edo Residents Call Out EDHA Deputy Speaker, Roland Asoro Over Deteriorating Health Of His PA, which has no doubt propelled the Deputy Speaker to clear the air and place the horse before the cart.
In a Press Statement signed by the Deputy Speaker, made available to Mega House TV earlier today, Rt. Hon. Asoro said there were no iota of truth in the publication, adding that it was a disjointed, frivolous article which sought to ridicule and sprinkle gimmickry on his political career. He further confirmed that Mr. Ehis Iyen is down with health challenge and frantic efforts are being made to make sure he regains his normal health, contrary to the rumour manifesto of the peddlers.
In his words, Asoro said "Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have paid attention to the disjointed, frivolous article and its peddlers but for posterity and record purpose, I want to unequivocally make it clear that there’s no oita of truth in the said publication"
"The medium through which the heinous article was published ought to be a platform wherein professional journalism is practised as obtainable in other online platforms, and as such, and as expected of the ethics of the profession, the authors and whoever behind the article ought to have heard my own side of the story before publishing but they never did that just because they have an hidden agenda to disparage my reputation"
"No doubt Mr. Ehis Iyen is down with health challenge and frantic efforts are being made to make sure he regains his normal health. When it was brought to my notice that Ehis was down in sick bed, I wasted no time but took him to my personal doctor for diagnosis and treatment, I paid the bill"
"Later, he was referred to another hospital and consequently taken there for further diagnosis, I stood by him and paid the bill. Mr. Ehis was further referred to another hospital for medical attention, I was still the one who paid the bill. Ehis was referred to three different hospitals for diagnosis and treatment, and I have been there for him. If the man (I) purported to have abandoned him happens to be the person who paid all the bills in these different hospitals, where did the authors get their abandonment story?"
"I’m not just compassionate about Ehis’ health but his entire family. The aim of getting him and his immediate family better and stable life made me to get a state job for his wife. Ehis deserves a better life and living hence I made his political appointment with Edo State Government possible. All these are facts that anyone can go and check. Therefore it beats my imagination some persons going to the cyberspace to report that I have abandoned the young man"
"I want to once more re-emphasise that I have not abandoned Ehis and will never abandon him to his fate. I am in contact with his family and doctors treating him, still paying for his dialysis and arrangements are on to make sure he gets the necessary medical treatments so he can get back to his feet"
In confirmation to the vital words of the Deputy Speaker, Mega House TV however visited the wife of Mr. Iyen Ehis to ascertain the proof and she said, "My husband dialysis session today at sapele Delta state. He is currently admitted at UBTH. On behalf of myself and my husband Iyen Ehiz,I say a big thank you to Deputy speaker, Hon. Asoro Roland for taking care of all hospital Bills. Thank you very much sir . God bless you sir"
To set the records straight, The CEO of Mega House TV, Comrade Goodluck Osama Ogbeide was among the few Orhionmwon Sons, who invited the General Public to join hands with the Deputy Speaker to save the Soul which was previously being taken care of by the Deputy Speaker who pays all the bills as confirmed by the wife of the victim.
Mega House TV further acknowledged all and sundry whom have contributed in one way or the other, either financially or otherwise to the health rescue of Mr. Ehis Iyen, Specially appreciating Orhionmwon leaders, Members of Orhionmwon Youth Alliance, Led by Dcn. Jonathan Osas Okunbor, Mr. Lawrence Osarekhoe (MC. Casino) and other notable sons from Orhionmwon.
