Senator Okpebholo was officially declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday, defeating his opponents to secure the position.

In a statement released by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu praised the efforts of APC national leaders, Edo State leaders, and the party’s governors for their hard work and dedication in securing this significant win.

He noted that the victory reflects the widespread support for the ruling party, its commitment to progressive policies, and its focus on economic reform and improving the quality of life for Nigerians.

The President urged Senator Okpebholo to approach his victory with humility, emphasizing that it represents a call to service rather than an opportunity for triumphalism.

Michelle Obama recently shared that when she first met Barack Obama, he wasn’t “financially sound.”

The couple crossed paths in 1988 when Barack joined a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was already working. On a recent podcast episode she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle reflected on the importance of financial stability in a relationship.

During a conversation with British author Jay Shetty, Craig asked Michelle, “Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially stable when you meet him?”

Without hesitation, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.”

Craig, who seemed to have set her up for that response, laughed and jokingly said, “Don’t you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it.”
