See his full speech:

Newly-sworn in Governor of Edo state, Senator Monday Okpebholo, Tuesday, unveiled his administration’s bold five-point agenda, with a promise to deliver on them in the next four years.

The governor spoke in Benin City, the Edo state capital, during his swearing-in ceremony.

Governor Okpebholo listed security, infrastructure and road development, affordable healthcare, water and food sufficiency, and value-driven education across the state.

He said the welfare of “our citizens is top priority for us. To achieve this, we shall implement programmes carefully outlined in my five-point agenda, designed to grow robust economic growth and improve the lives of our people.”

While hailing Edo people for their unwavering support, the Governor promised not to betray the people.

“My dear people of Edo state, let me start by thanking God Almighty for His grace and incredible blessings. Democracy has triumphed again in our dear State. For me, this is a humbling moment; made possible by you all.

“I want to use this opportunity to thank you for your peaceful conduct during the 21st September, 2024 Governorship Election. Today, you have officially given me the mandate to preside over our dear State as Governor for the next four years.

“We will not betray this confidence you have reposed in me and the Deputy Governor, Rt. Honourable Dennis Idahosa,” Governor Okpebholo said.

While bemoaning incessant cases of kidnapping and other violent crimes, Governor Okpebholo said his administration will be firm in dealing with criminals and improve the security of Edo State.

He said: “For a long time now, our people have become victims of kidnapping and other violent crimes. To end this ugly situation, we will be firm in dealing with criminals and improve the security of our land so that farming and other business activities will flourish again.”

On road construction and infrastructural development, he said: “The deplorable condition of our roads has made it difficult for people to move from one part of the State to another. Our policy to develop road infrastructure is targeted at constructing roads, drainages, and bridges to ease transportation for all. We shall immediately commence work to make the roads passable again.

“We are also ready to partner with the federal government, the private sector, non-governmental organisations, those in the diaspora, and other stakeholders, to develop our State across all sectors.”

He said his administration will support small businesses and market women with soft loans.

“Our teeming youthful population will not be left out. We shall support them to acquire relevant skills for self-empowerment. My administration shall immediately swing into action to recruit teachers and rebuild the deplorable classrooms. Tertiary education will be strengthened in many ways, too, to ensure quality education.

“Fellow citizens, my administration is ready to link communities that have not yet been connected to the national grid to ensure that they have electricity.

“Our traditional institution shall be given the necessary support to play their role as custodians of our rich cultural heritage. It is in recognition of this that my administration shall support the decision of the Federal Government to uphold the Oba of Benin as the exclusive owner of the returned artefacts, that were looted away by British Colonial Forces during the Benin Massacre of 1897,” he said.

Governor Okpebholo said his administration

Governor Okpebholo said his administration will work closely with other arms of government in the State for the common good of the people.

He said: “To the Edo State House of Assembly, our people have tasked us to work together for the common good of all. My administration is ready to work with you to strengthen institutions of governance and accelerate development.

“Recall that on 17th June 2019, 14 elected members of Edo state House of Assembly were denied inauguration into the 7th Assembly. It was a big blow to our democracy. My administration is setting up a panel of inquiries to investigate the remote causes of that incident so as to avoid future occurrence. This is very imperative because the legislative arm of government is an essential component for the sustenance of democracy.

“Under the doctrine of Separation of Powers, the judicial arm of government shall be strengthened to administer justice; fairly and promptly.

“The delay and refusal by the previous administration to swear in three judges recommended by the National Judicial Council is indeed regrettable. The Chief Judge will look into this and take necessary actions without delay.”

Okpebholo hailed the contributions of civil servants in the State. “I want to thank members of the Edo Civil Service for their invaluable contributions to the development of our State. Your welfare shall be topmost in my agenda as meaningful reforms shall be initiated to ensure innovation, transparency, and zero-tolerance for corruption in public service,” he said.

The Governor said that despite the enormous task ahead, with God on his side and the firm support from the people, the State will prevail.

“I recognise the enormous task ahead; but with a firm resolve and God’s guidance, we shall prevail. I thank you once again for the privilege and opportunity to serve you as Governor for the next four years,” he concluded

Rumour has it that he is very simple (highly uneducated) and someone gave him the most important job in the state.

Its all a trick (messing with mic), he is not in control (just another puppet governor like Kogi & Rivers State).

Anxiety

Push and start. Edo go hear am

To read the speech na wahala.

Shake o or no shake he has been sworn in.

Yoruba people don suffer for una hand sha... we wey no even see una. Like igbo o, ss o, north o, I swear, we no dey send una at all... we're only all about our businesses only. It's just us vs us. We'll rather go to US(like many of our people, more than other Nigerians living in the US, got elected alongside Trump) or UK(like our people massively championing positions(ahead of other Nigerian tribes), or even Ireland(where a Yoruba woman once got unelected after finishing one term).

What we've done to deserve you people's hate, I honestly don't know. Yet, you people cannot live without us. You all come to our lands, take off things and leave live permanently, cos of the safety and progressiveness. But we barely go to your lands at all, rather we go overseas to make our marks. Yet, you people won't allow us to rest. Omo, na wa o... Make God sha dey continue keep us ahead, because people filled with this much hate and envy will kill us when the opportunity arises.

SHAKES IN BODY, SOUL AND MIND, I SAW IT TOO. WHAT IS HAPPENING? THE GODS OF EDO ARE FAST.

Op don't be silly, I watched the whole swearing and I did t see him talk incoherently, although he was a little shaky in the voice but that could be stage fright, I am not from Edo state either am I supporting APC, but this governor is fit and very healthy, stop fooling

It was more of electrical/technical issues with his microphone. He was responding well and wasn’t muddling or messing up his speeches and responses.

Listen to him, he was reading and following the script well but his microphone was bad.

if you continue vlogging like this, you won't be getting views. Always start your video with the point you want to make, then pause to give the background. Nobody has the time to watch your intro.

I thought Edo State is the capital of Obi supporters who scream to high heavens before the election. After roundly beaten they have suddenly push the state to Yorubas.

No longer headquarters of Obi supporters😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It has now fallen to Yoruba interest. Wow!
