Dr. Osahon Aikoriogie, a former Edo State gubernatorial candidate, has commended Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo for his impressive performance within his first 60 days in office. Aikoriogie, who contested under the National Rescue Movement (NRM) platform before joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), praised Okpebholo’s swift actions in appointing key leaders, commissioning projects, and initiating road constructions and a fly-over at Ramat Park.
Aikoriogie specifically highlighted Okpebholo’s efforts in setting up the Assets Verification Committee and the Vehicle Recovery Committee to correct past administration wrongs. He also applauded the governor for leading the state out of economic difficulties and absorbing over 300 cleaners into the state civil service, providing them with better salaries.
However, Aikoriogie suggested that the government adopt the automation of the tax system to block financial leakages and ensure revenue goes directly into the government’s coffers. He advised Okpebholo to surround himself with competent individuals who can contribute positively to his administration.
Aikoriogie urged the people of Edo State to remain calm and patient, believing that the governor has their best interests at heart. With Okpebholo’s commitment to delivering developmental strides, Aikoriogie expressed optimism about the state’s future growth and development.
