Former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa. In a statement released by his senior aide, Hon. Victor Oshioke, Oshiomhole who is the Senator representing Edo North acknowledged the overwhelming mandate from the people of Edo, who he said have expressed a clear desire for change after eight years marked by underperformance and a disregard for institutional integrity.
Oshiomhole emphasized that the election results reflect the voices of Edo citizens seeking a government that prioritizes their rights and aspirations. He described Okpebholo and Idahosa’s victory as not only a political achievement but a divine intervention responding to the cries of Edo people who have sought relief from almost 8 years of despotic rule.
“This is a golden opportunity for you to inscribe your names in annals of history by offering the people of Edo State a progressive and purposeful leadership,” Oshiomhole remarked. He reiterated his unwavering support for the incoming administration as they embark on a journey to restore hope and effective governance to the state.
He further urged the incoming leaders to focus on tangible actions rather than lamenting the challenges ahead. Oshiomhole reassured the people of Edo that their choice of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will yield positive outcomes and urged them to remain engaged and supportive of the incoming administration.
In closing, Oshiomhole dedicated the APC’s victory to God, acknowledging that it is through divine will that the people of Edo have been afforded this fresh start.
