Dr. Mary Alile promised to continue to give her husband the needed support that will be of help to mankind, especially to those in his community.

The leaders of the communities that were beneficiaries of the water projects lauded Hon. Pius Alile for providing the various communities with water. They promised that they will take responsibility for the boreholes noting that it is the only way Hon. Pius Alile would be encouraged to do more for their communities. They further thanked Senator (Prof.) Oserheimen Osunbor for making time to commission the boreholes despite his very tight schedule. The community leaders reminded him of how they gained his short stint in power while he was in government as governor of Edo State for 18 months, they pleaded with him to return and assured him of their support in the next election they further said that the people of Edo State have not seen a more humane governor like him.
