Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State recently visited the United Kingdom, where he addressed Nigerians in the diaspora, especially those from Edo State. During his remarks, he claimed that Nigeria is safe and that President Bola Tinubu has stabilized the economy through what he described as “great reforms.”
Honestly, looking at Governor Okpebholo each time he speaks, one can see that he has little or nothing to offer the people of Edo State. To many, he appears to be a leader planted by political cabals in the state to serve their selfish interests rather than the people’s needs.
The truth is, no sincere Nigerian today would say the country is safe, given the widespread insecurity and constant attacks by bandits and terrorists. Yet, according to Governor Okpebholo, Nigeria is supposedly ready for investment. But no serious investor would risk their money in a country where violence and instability dominate the headlines, these are undeniable facts.
We therefore appeal to the people of Edo State to find new ways to resist the cabals who brought Governor Okpebholo to office, so they won’t succeed in imposing another weak and controlled leader on them in the future. As it stands, Governor Okpebholo has nothing meaningful to offer, and it’s clear he is only carrying out the bidding of his political masters. Edo people should not expect much from his leadership, this is simply the truth, take it or leave it.
