Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has projected the imminent downfall of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, citing a wave of defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Governor Okpebholo made this assertion during a courtesy visit by Hon. Nicholas Asonsere, the lawmaker representing Ikpoba Okha State Constituency, who recently left the PDP to join the APC.
Asonsere’s defection has strengthened the APC’s position in the Edo State House of Assembly, where it now commands a majority with 15 members, compared to the PDP’s 9.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, by his Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, the governor welcomed the defectors, assuring them of inclusion and opportunity within the APC.
“I want to thank you and all others who have made the decision to join the APC. You won’t regret it — this party is the winning team, and it offers limitless opportunities,” the governor stated. “When I joined the APC, I had no intention of contesting for office. But through the encouragement of those who believe in progress, I was elected senator and now governor. This shows what is possible within our party.”
Governor Okpebholo expressed optimism that the PDP would soon lose relevance in Edo politics, attributing it to the APC’s developmental focus and people-centered agenda.
He emphasized his administration’s commitment to maximizing Edo’s resources—both Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and allocations from the Federation Account (FAAC)—to drive growth and improve living conditions across the state.
“The PDP will soon collapse in Edo because of what the APC stands for. I’m focused on delivering real development to our people. I will ensure that every kobo from Edo’s IGR and FAAC is used to improve lives and build our state,” he declared.
The governor also noted that since assuming office, he has avoided foreign travel to concentrate on governance and development efforts at home. In a veiled criticism of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki, Okpebholo accused him of misleading the public about progress in the education sector, stating that the realities on the ground do not match the claims made.
