Senate President Godswill Akpabio has congratulated Edo State governor-elect Senator Monday Okpebholo on his recent victory, urging him to carry all stakeholders along in his administration.
Akpabio advised Okpebholo to extend his hands of fellowship to every Edo person, regardless of political affiliation, to contribute to the state’s development.
Akpabio expressed confidence that Okpebholo and his deputy, Dennis Idahosa, will excel as leaders, building on progress and taking Edo State to greater heights, according to Independent.
In a statement by Eseme Eyiboh, special adviser on media and publicity, the Senate President said the outcome of the election is not just a victory for the APC but for the entire state, which will pave the way for more federal projects and infrastructural development in the state.
“This triumph is a testament to Senator Okpebholo’s tireless efforts and commitment to the people of Edo State.
“As a seasoned politician and senator representing Edo Central senatorial district, Senator Okpebholo has consistently demonstrated his ability to drive positive change and progress.
“His victory is a significant milestone for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a clear indication of the people’s trust in his leadership,” he pointed out.
The Senate President’s call for inclusivity is seen as a strategic move to ensure peace and stability in the state following the governorship election.
“The political battle is over. The task ahead is enormous and requires all hands to be on deck. I urge you to take deliberate actions to unite the State and attract development to transform the State.
“Once again, congratulations to Senator Monday Okpebholo and Hon. Idahosa on this remarkable achievement,” he added.
