Okpebholo Open to Collaboration with Opposition
Edo State Governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, has expressed openness to collaborating with opposition parties if they present “beautiful” and “acceptable” ideas for the people. This follows his election victory, where he garnered 291,667 votes, defeating Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party.
However, Ighodalo has rejected the results, alleging vote-buying and manipulation by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and plans to contest the outcome legally.
Okpebholo urged his rivals to accept the results and focus on future opportunities. He emphasized that his administration represents a “new dawn” for Edo State, dedicated to serving the people. Former Governor Adams Oshiomhole echoed this sentiment, calling for unity among all political factions to ensure the welfare of Edo citizens and encouraging the opposition to embrace collaboration for the greater good.
