Okpebholo in a sentence

The spokeperson to Senator Monday Okpebholo Campaign Organisation, Rt.

Afegbua said the governor claimed in the budget request that he intends to leave money for the incoming Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to spend while settling down to work.

Also speaking, a former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, told the people that Okpebholo, who is his colleague in the Senator will never disappoint them if elected into office.

Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has appreciated the people of Ondo State for voting for the candidate of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa in last Saturday’s governorship election.

He claimed that Okpebholo would make a better governor than Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, being backed by Obaseki.

He emphasised the importance of Governor Okpebholo justifying the confidence placed in him and the APC while fostering true democracy and effective governance in the state.

He noted that the attack occurred during Okpebholo’s procession from the airport to the APC Secretariat, which would have been conducted peacefully if the gunmen had not ambushed the candidate and his supporters at the Benin airport exit.

He promised that Okpebholo will continue to uphold the values of good governance, transparency, and service to the people which have been the bedrock of the APC’s vision for Nigeria.

He said: “Again, Obaseki also claimed that Senator Okpebholo did not invite him to the inauguration slated for next Tuesday.

He stated that the All Progressives Congress candidate, Monday Okpebholo, has children in whom he has invested their education, adding that their mother joined them at recent campaigns.

He told them that Okpebholo is a home breed unlike the candidate presented by the PDP who he alleged knew nothing about the people he plans to govern.

His words: “As we mark Good Friday, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all Christians in Nigeria,” Senator Okpebholo remarked.

Members of the All Progressives Congress, led by Monday Okpebholo’s running mate, Dennis Idahosa, organised protests demanding the exit of Obaseki from the premises of the Independent National Electoral Commission at about 3.30 am on Sunday.

Monday Okpebholo, governor of Edo State, has appointed Sulaiman Aledeh, a veteran broadcaster, as the managing director of the state-owned Edo Broadcasting Service (EBS).

Okpebholo, alongside the deputy governor-elect and some APC chieftains, visited Aso Rock to thank Tinubu after victory in the Edo governorship election.

Okpebholo made the remarks, while briefing State House correspondents, after presenting his certificate of return to President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.

Okpebholo’s victory is also significant for the APC, cementing the party’s influence in the state.

Ologunagba asserted that the APC candidate, Okpebholo, is avoiding campaigning or interacting with the public because he recognizes that he cannot compete with Ighodalo.

Political analysts suggest that the unfolding controversy could escalate into a constitutional showdown, especially as Governor Okpebholo’s mandate is being challenged at the Edo State Election Tribunal.

Sanwo-Olu said: “We welcome the brand new Governor-elect of Edo, distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo, here with his Deputy-elect, Idahosa, and current Deputy Governor of Edo, Comrade Philip Shuaib.
