President Bola Tinubu has offered his sincere congratulations to Senator Monday Okpebholo following his official inauguration as the new Governor of Edo State today.

The President extended his best wishes for a successful tenure, urging Governor Okpebholo to work tirelessly to improve the lives of the people of Edo State and to leave a lasting legacy throughout his time in office.

Governor Okpebholo’s victory in the Edo State governorship election held on September 21, 2024, marked a pivotal moment in the state’s political landscape.

With this win, Okpebholo has assumed leadership from the former governor, Godwin Obaseki, who served for two terms.

In his message, President Tinubu highlighted the importance of the trust placed in Governor Okpebholo by the people of Edo and the APC.

He emphasized that the new governor has a significant opportunity to shape the future of the state, urging him to work diligently to justify this trust.

The President also called for the strengthening of democratic institutions, particularly the legislature, noting that a strong, independent legislature is essential for ensuring good governance and the advancement of democracy in Edo State.

Tinubu took the opportunity to reflect on the previous administration under Governor Obaseki, mentioning concerns about the attempts made to weaken the legislative branch, which, in his view, affected its ability to function effectively during much of its tenure.

He stressed that for Edo to move forward, it is essential for all branches of government to work in harmony, with mutual respect for their roles and functions.

Moreover, President Tinubu praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its successful organization of the Edo Governorship Election, which was conducted with transparency and professionalism.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.

According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”

He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to resist any move towards a one-party system, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to silence opposition and undermine democracy. In a statement issued ahead of its upcoming National Convention set for August 2025 in Kano, the PDP said the event would be a turning point to elect new national leaders, strengthen the party’s internal structure, and prepare to challenge the APC in the 2027 general elections.

The party stressed that this convention would focus on electing capable leaders through a process rooted in merit, transparency, and fairness. It said this was necessary to confront what it described as the APC’s mismanagement of the country. The PDP accused the APC of using threats, intimidation, and interference in opposition parties to weaken Nigeria’s democratic system. It also blamed the ruling party for worsening economic conditions, growing poverty, and rising insecurity, calling the situation “unprecedented hardship” under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The opposition party urged Nigerians not to allow democracy to be replaced with authoritarian control. It encouraged citizens to unite behind the PDP and support efforts to bring back true democratic governance in the country. According to the statement, the Kano convention will help reawaken the PDP and prepare it to lead a renewed fight for a better Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace and prosperity.

The party concluded by calling on its members, stakeholders, and every patriotic Nigerian to stand firm, support the party’s mission, and help build a stronger front against what it described as the APC’s anti-people policies. “Together, we can stop the APC’s plans and return Nigeria to a path of progress, safety, and economic stability,” the PDP said.
