The APC’s victory in Edo State reflects a significant shift in the state’s political landscape, with Okpebholo now tasked with steering the state’s development and addressing pressing issues. His administration is set to occupy the Dennis Osadebay House, where he is expected to continue efforts to improve the welfare of Edo State residents.
This inauguration signals not only the end of Obaseki’s era but also the start of a new direction for Edo under Okpebholo’s leadership.
