Admin 
Monday Okpebholo
The victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and emergence of Senator Monday Okpebholo as Governor-Elect in Edo State’s gubernatorial election has been described as an unequivocal endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s economic road map to returning Nigeria to the path of prosperity.
Former Deputy President of the Senate in the 9th Session of the National Assembly, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, stated this in his congratulatory message to the Governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo and the party.
“When an election comes up almost at the mid term point of an administration, it is akin to a referendum on the administration. The outcome is a testament to the sophistication of Edo voters, and I believe the Nigerian electorate, that is not appreciated by political leaders, but unravelled in Saturday’s election,” Omo-Agege stated in his congratulatory message.
In the message released by the former Deputy Senate President’s Media Adviser, Sunny Areh, he said while Okpebholo was the candidate, Tinubu’s administration and policies were on trial in the election.
He said beyond the immediate challenges orchestrated by the reforms, Nigerians are seeing a bright horizon ahead.
“The people of Edo State have once again demonstrated their political sophistication. They always look at the bigger picture and I congratulate them,” Omo-Agege stated.
He urged Nigerians to continue to support President Tinubu and his reforms, affirming that the ongoing reforms are unique as they are rooted in rejigging the fundamentals of the economy.
He also urged the Governor-Elect to brace up and restore the hopes and expectations of the people of Edo State.
