There Is Only One Iyawe — Edo Residents Praise Lawmaker To High Heavens At Okpebholo’s One-Year Anniversary

It was a day of pride and celebration as the Edo State Government rolled out the drums to mark Governor Monday Okpebholo’s one year in office — a year defined by focus, humility, and tangible progress across the state.

But amid the music, cultural displays, and waves of applause, one name kept echoing through the crowd — Hon. Esosa Iyawe, the vibrant lawmaker representing Oredo Federal Constituency. His arrival drew a wave of admiration that captured the spirit of a man whose connection to his people runs deep.

Everywhere you turned, it was chants of “Na our Rep be this!” and “There is only one Iyawe!” — spontaneous words from proud constituents who have watched their representative redefine what true representation means. His steady commitment to youth empowerment, community development, and visible projects across Oredo has made him a household name in Edo politics.

As the state celebrated a year of purposeful leadership under Governor Okpebholo, the people of Oredo found another reason to celebrate — their own son who embodies the Renewed Hope spirit in action.

Indeed, in the hearts of the people, there is only one Iyawe — grounded, consistent, and quietly shaping a legacy that speaks volumes.
