Oshiomhole urged the Governor to remain steadfast in his service to Edo State and Nigeria, assuring him of his goodwill and prayers as he marks the milestone.

“Your emergence as Governor at this critical juncture of our state’s history is, indeed, a providential opportunity to rebuild, restore and reposition Edo State,” Oshiomhole said.

He thanked Almighty God for the Governor’s life, guidance and protection, and prayed for continued wisdom, strength, good health and divine grace to enable Okpebholo serve Edo State and Nigeria with greater distinction.

Oshiomhole declared his support for the Governor beyond this first tenure, and wished him many more years of productive service, fulfilment and continued impact.
