Senator Monday Okpebholo and Dennis Idahosa are sworn in as the new Governor and Deputy Governor of Edo State, marking the beginning of their administration.

Okpebholo has been inaugurated as the governor of Edo State, following months after his election to succeed Godwin Obaseki, who finished his second term in office.

At Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Chief Justice Daniel Okungbowa administered the oath to both the governor and deputy governor. They pledged their commitment to upholding the constitution and working for the well-being of Edo State’s citizens.

Dignitaries such as Vice President Kashim Shettima, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Chairman of the Governors’ Forum, Philip Shaibu—the reinstated deputy governor of Edo—and other governors from the APC were present for Okpebholo’s oath-taking ceremony.
