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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
