Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has assured the people of Edo State of his administration’s determination to continue working towards more developmental strides. This assurance was made during a victory dinner held at the New Festival Hall of Government House in Benin City on Monday night, celebrating his victory at the election petition tribunal. Chief Press Secretary to the Edo State Governor, Fred Itua, in a statement, quoted Governor Okpebholo as saying that with the tribunal’s affirmation of his victory, Edo people will see more positive developments as his administration has adopted a practical governance style. “The tribunal ruling shows we won the governorship election clearly as the three judges unanimously gave APC victory. Edo is marching forward, and we will continue to do our best to uplift the well-being of our people,” Okpebholo stated. Itua noted that the Governor appreciated God, party leaders, and the electorate for the victory. Okpebholo thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for standing by the party despite tremendous pressure from certain quarters. “I thank all party faithful and leaders, All Progressives Congress (APC) State Working Committee (SWC) as they stood by us to ensure victory,” he said. Fred Itua further quoted Okpebholo as saying, “My duty is very simple. First, to work for Edo people and secure our land. With these steps, Edo State will move forward.” Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North Senatorial District and former Governor of Edo State, congratulated Okpebholo on the victory. “When non-believers went to court to challenge God’s proclamation, the court reaffirmed the decision of Edo people,” Oshiomhole said. Fred Itua also mentioned that APC Chairman in Edo State, Jaret Tenebe, thanked the people for their votes, assuring them that the Governor will deliver on his election promises. Other dignitaries present included Deputy Governor Hon. Dennis Idahosa, Secretary to the State Government Musa Ikhilor, and former Deputy Governors Peter Obadan, Pius Odubu, and Comrade Phillip Shaibu. Fred Itua was also present at the event. The Governor’s commitment to development was reiterated by party leaders, with Gen. Cecil Esekhaigbe (retd) praising Okpebholo for making “Esan Agenda” become “Edo Agenda” and bringing dividends of democracy to the people.
