Oshiomhole Rallies Behind Okpebholo: A Fiery Call To Transform Edo Central

Oshiomhole Rallies Behind Okpebholo: A Fiery Call To Transform Edo CentralIn an energetic show of political passion, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, the former Governor of Edo State, energized the crowd at the APC Edo Central senatorial district campaign with his strong support for APC governorship candidate Senator Monday Okpebholo and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa. The event also saw the important presence of Philip Shaibu, the reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, as they all came together to push for a better future for Edo State.

Oshiomhole delivered a blistering critique of the current administration’s failure to address the rampant insecurity that has plagued Edo State.He strongly criticized the government for failing to handle the security crisis, pointing out a time when the state was gripped by fear while officials appeared not to care. He remembered the people’s desperate cries for help, which he said were ignored by those in power.

Adams Oshiomhole reminded the people that during security challenges faced by the locals, the PDP’s candidate, who claims to be a billionaire with powerful connections, could only contribute 100k to the local security network. In contrast, Okpebholo, who wasn’t even an elected senator at the time, made a big difference by donating five vehicles and a substantial amount of money to support security efforts—a contribution that was part of a collective decision by the Esan leaders.

The former governor’s speech wasn’t just about criticism; it was a heartfelt call for better governance. He strongly condemned the idea of a governor who treats Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) as personal deals, insisting that Edo State deserves leaders who truly care about the people and are dedicated to the public good.

Oshiomhole’s passionate speech was a key moment in the APC’s campaign, offering a promise of a future centered on good governance and the well-being of the people of Edo State. The rally sent a powerful message for change, presenting a new vision for the state’s future.
