Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has emphasized the need for synergy among the three arms of government to ensure the state’s rapid development. This call was made when the Governor received Judges of the Edo State Judiciary, led by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, who were in Government House on a courtesy visit. In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to Edo State, Fred Itua, revealed that Governor Okpebholo commended the Legislature for their cooperation, particularly in passing the Appropriation Bill for the benefit of the people. Itua added that the Governor urged the Judiciary to follow suit, ensuring collaboration with his administration to deliver justice and propel the state’s growth and development. Governor Okpebholo stated, “Today, I am happy to see the Chief Judge and members of the Judiciary. Yes, we have challenges in Edo State, and the Executive can’t solve them alone as we need to synergize to develop and grow the State.” He further emphasized the importance of synergy between the three arms of government, saying, “I need synergy between the Executive, Legislature, and the Judiciary. The Executive arm of government has worked with the Legislature. The legislative arm is doing well as they honoured the requests in the budget, supplementary budget, and other requests we made.” Itua noted that Governor Okpebholo welcomed the Judiciary’s visit, saying it was long overdue. The Governor expressed his commitment to developing Edo State, particularly in education and the Judiciary. He said, “My drive is to develop Edo State. We will build on our educational system and improve on it. We will do the same to the Judiciary to ensure that the Judiciary also succeed in their activities.” The Chief Judge of Edo State, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, assured Governor Okpebholo that the Judiciary would work with the Executive and Legislature to develop the state and ensure good governance. Itua quoted Justice Okungbowa as saying that they were committed to delivering justice to the people.
