A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, and Edo Central Senatorial Aspirant, Hon. Dr. Joseph Ikpea, has congratulated Senator Monday Okpebholo on his inauguration as the sixth elected Governor of Edo State.
Okpebholo of the APC was sworn in on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, Edo State.
Sen. Okpebholo became the Governor of Edo State, after he was administered the oaths of allegiance and office by the Edo State’s Chief Judge.
In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed, described Governor Okpebholo as a man with many lives and a dogged fighter, adding that his emergence was a good sign for the success of the APC.
“On behalf of myself, family and political group, I congratulate our own Sen. Monday Okpebholo as the new Governor of Edo State. It is indeed a new dawn in the state and for the entire people of Edo State.
“The newest addition to the list of Governors on the platform of our great party, All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Monday Okpebholo is a typical example of a man with many lives; determination; courage; perseverance in the face of challenges and hope when all odds seem to have been against one.
“Sir, your emergence symbolises new hope and the fact that the course that the APC is chatting is the right one. It is a promise for better tomorrow for our party and that our great party will eventually lead the country to the Promised Land,” he said.
Ikpea, who wished the newly sworn-in governor a successful tenure, added that he has learnt a lesson, among others, from Okpebholo’s political triumph.
“It is a thing of joy to me personally and I have derived enormous lesson, encouragement and motivation from your emergence.
“I wish you a memorable and successful administration and pray that God will endow you with ability, capacity and capability to positively impact and turnaround the fortune of the State and make your administration a reference point in many decades to come,” he added.
