Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has urged the South-South region to deliver unity votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election, declaring "there is no vacancy in Aso Rock" as the presidency must remain in the South for an eight-year term.

Speaking in Benin City during a courtesy visit by the Union of Tippers, Suppliers and Quarry Employers of Nigeria (UTSQEN), Okpebholo defended the removal of the fuel subsidy, stating it has freed up funds for governors to finance development.

He credited the Tinubu administration with supporting Edo State’s infrastructure drive—specifically highlighting the durable concrete paving of Sapele Road.

The UTSQEN National Chairman Wilson Ogbachi commended the governor's focus on security and invited him to host the union's upcoming national delegates' conference.

MASS CULT RENUNCIATION IN EDO STATE HELD TODAY! 12TH OCTOBER 2026

The Edo State Government hosted a historic mass renunciation ceremony today, Monday, October 12, 2026, for repentant cultists at the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub in Benin City.

The event organized by the Edo State Special Security Squad, served as a critical window of amnesty for youths to surrender illegal arms, renounce their affiliations, and embrace a peaceful path toward productive citizenship. The Edo state Governor, Sen.Monday Okpebholo served as the chief host.

The program comes as the state tightens its grip on violent crime through a strict new anti-cultism law, which now carries severe penalties:
--Death penalty for cult-related killings.
--21 years in prison for financing secret cults.
-- 10 years in prison and property demolition for landlords who harbor cultists.

The government encourages all citizens to support this rehabilitation drive and help build a safer, conflict-free Edo State.

Claims by social media commentator Joel Agho, popularly known as Mr Common Sense, that APC Edo State Deputy Chairman Sylvester Aigboboh is the “de facto governor” of Edo State and controls Governor Monday Okpebholo are false claims lacking merit or credible evidence.

Senator Okpebholo is the duly elected and sworn-in Governor of Edo State, while Aigboboh is a political party official with no constitutional position in the state government. Any suggestion that he secretly runs the government is therefore misleading and unsupported.

Mr Common Sense has repeatedly criticised the Okpebholo administration on social media, but political criticism does not turn speculation into fact. For instance, allegations that government contracts cannot proceed without Aigboboh’s approval, or that he receives 15 per cent from every contract, have not been backed by credible evidence.

Similarly, claims that Aigboboh controls government appointments or that Governor Okpebholo and Aigboboh took traditional or spiritual oaths remain unsubstantiated allegations. The public deserves facts, not hearsay presented as revelation.

The claim that Aigboboh is wealthier than Edo, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states is laughable and should be dismissed as an exaggerated assertion rather than established fact.

Whether Edo State is delivering on its mandate should be judged by verifiable records, including projects, budget implementation and public services, not social media commentary.

Mr Common Sense is entitled to his political views, but repeated insinuations do not make them true. Serious allegations require serious evidence, and until such evidence is produced, these claims should be treated for what they are: unsupported allegations lacking merit.

OKPEBHOLO’S FINANCIAL RESET: Edo Cuts Structured Domestic Debt by Over 37% While Expanding Development

Governor Monday Okpebholo’s administration has reportedly reduced Edo State’s structured domestic debt from approximately ₦36.03 billion to ₦22.60 billion—a decline of more than 37 per cent.

Pension and gratuity arrears have also fallen by about ₦8.72 billion, bringing relief closer to retirees who served the state.

The impact is significant: a lighter debt burden, improved confidence in government finances and greater capacity to fund roads, schools, healthcare, security and other services that directly affect Edo residents.
