Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has reiterated that his administration remains fully committed to delivering visible, people-centred development across the state.
Speaking in Benin City at a town hall with Team FIGO-Connect supporters, Okpebholo stressed that voters chose him for progress, not politics. “My vision is to transform Edo from an ancient city to a modern one, and I am not losing focus,” he said.
The governor cited ongoing projects—from Sapele Road reconstruction to erosion control in Ogheghe and school interventions—as proof that his government prioritizes community needs over personal or political gain. Recalling a campaign visit to Temboga, he said the severity of gully erosion there shaped his development agenda.
Okpebholo also praised President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, highlighting tax relief for Nigerians earning below ₦150,000 and the removal of fuel subsidies as measures that benefit ordinary citizens.
The town hall saw members of the Labour Party’s Obedient Movement declare support for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, citing confidence in his reform agenda. The event ended with renewed pledges to back Governor Okpebholo in sustaining Edo’s development momentum.
