1. 2 Flyovers at Ramat Park and Adesuwa Rds to decongest traffic and open up the area

2. Dualization of Roads leading from Iruekpen in Ekpoma to Ubiaja -- that is an 8 lane road that cut across and connects 5 LG Areas (I dont know the number of kilometres but it will take you about 2 hours 45 mins or more, driving on good speed to get to Ubiaja from Iruekpen)

3. Revamping of Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma. The immediate past administration reduced the subvention to the higher institution to 40 million naira, a situation that brought the school to its knee, leading to the dis-accreditation of most depts including, Medicine, Nursing, Medical Lab, Microbiology, Mass Communication, among others. Okpebholo increased it to 500m and has successfully secured the accreditation of almost all the departments --- as a result, the medical school was able to induction it's graduate, after 10 years of waiting...

4. Recruitment of over 5,000 teachers into Edo public schools....

5. Recruitment of over 3,000 graduates I to the state Civil Service (Note, unlike the immediate past administration, Okpebholo does not do contract staff. It's either you are recruited into the core service as a full staff or you are not recruited)

6. Ongoing interior roads projects scattered across all the local government areas. Almost every community is been touched

7. Mechanised farming scattered across the state and empowerment of farmers and market women with soft loans and tractors to expand their farms and business

8. Taming cultism in Edo to a stand still...


You asked for 5, I gave you 8. You can independently verify them, please.

On security (apart from cultism), although he seems to be doing much, I however will score him low. The effect of what he is doing has not been felt. I think he is sympathetic towards the Fulani people..... I think he needs to be more firm in dealing with them. Fulani herdsmen are making some part of Edo, uninhabitable
I asked for groundbreaking projects
What is groundbreaking in a 500m flyover? Why are you people like this
Which Dualization is he doing in iruekpen? Can you share pictures or a link? The only one I know of is filling of potholes and again, there's nothing groundbreaking in filling potholes. As for recruitment, I believe it has not been concluded. When those recruited start work, that's when we can be sure it's not audio
As for Ambrose Alli university, you guys can claim anything. You can even claim he's giving them 10bn. Na when he leave office we go really know which is which
Road Projects "scattered" is another word for audio
I don't know how you claim there's high insecurity and you still claim farmers are farming with tractors? How many lives do the farmers have?

Well, I thought you asked out of a genuine concern to know, in which case, you would have independently verify the projects I highlighted either by asking others in the state or visiting the state to see for yourself.

But obviously, you are just here to argue for argument sake and just abused those in power for the sake of abusing. I sincerely don't have the time to engage you. I am not in govt. I am not in politics. I do not support PDP, APC, LP or ADC and I certainly do not hold brief for anybody.

Look elsewhere for this your baseless, senseless and unnecessary arguement

To be honest this man is working in Edo state, which I believe is the most important aspect of governance. The former governor who is so called educated (Obaseki), spent 8years without doing anything in Edo. The present governor is just less than 3years in office and have done so much for Edo people. Now, let me enlighten us a little bit; Do you know where that speech was made by the governor? Ans: Inauguration of construction equipments (payloaders, bulldozers, graders, Tippers etc) for 18 LGAs of Edo state. The target is, even the most remote villages in the entire State of Edo must have good roads and I see this as innovativeand visionary. Now, all the LGA Chairs in the State will have no excuse not to work. Mind you, these equipments were solely bought and provided by Govr. Of Edo State. The man may not be too good in spoken English (which is not our mother tonque. By the way, go to Russia, China, Japan, Germany, France etc. and find out which languages they use in developing their various countries) but one fact is that this man is serious working in Edo State. In fact if you know the history of Gov. Monday Okpebholo, you wouldn't be surprised at the good work the man is doing in Edo State. He has been an ardent philanthropist even before he ever knew he will do politics.
Note: I am not from Edo State, just a resident of Benin City.
He may be hardworking but he's too sycophantic. He's an elected governor. The president didn't elect him. Edo people elected him. He should sit his arse down and fix the bad roads in Edo and stop these patronising adulations of Abuja.

I'm not arguing. Just stating facts. If your standard for a serious govt is a 500m bridge then I suspect you're not enlightened enough to expect better from those who manage the resources of your state on your behalf.
That said, I do not support APC, PDP or any alphabet either but I've seen enough to know that Nigerian politicians are an unserious bunch with few exceptions. So I first doubt, then scrutinise anything that comes from them or their lackeys. I don't just swallow their propaganda like a zombie
Good luck

Na only 'on your mandate' he sabi

I have no respect for suckers, governor position is too big for sycophancy.

Dislodge and eliminate jihadists terrorists, fulani herdsmen from the forests of Edo and the state as a whole, this is your cardinal job, these demons have killed a lot of Edo people.
Edo people are famous for juju. It's even said that most of the young boys who got suddenly rich involved themselves in juju to "make it". They should use that same juju to protect themselves against Fulani herdsmen, else it's pointless and mostly doesn't work in the grand scheme of things.

Re: Governor Okpebholo Struggling To Mention GCFR by Dalohad: 3:02pm On Feb 24
Bholo is an embarrassment to Edo people who are one of the most literate people in Nigeria.

A state that hosts one of the best Universities in Africa (UniBen) is governed by an unlettered charlatan who rode on election rigging and godfatherism, propelled by Oshiomhole the tailor cum massage therapist and APC rigging machinery.

Tueh..

Are you okay?
Very much okay. Let me put this way:

A lethal group of people are relentlessly attacking a particular area renowned for their mystical powers. Why haven't the residents of that area deployed these powers to fight off this lethal group? Mind you, there are other people elsewhere who got attacked by this same group, but they deployed their powers to fight them and they've been successful.
Re: Governor Okpebholo Struggling To Mention GCFR by deebrain(m): 4:44pm On Feb 24
I believe he wanted to say GCFR.

GCFR. GCFR.

I think his case has more to do with confidence & low self esteem. When u lose confidence during public speaking, u begin to make mistakes. I have seen the man talk during project inspection, he talks fine, but when faced with crowd, he tends to make mistakes.
^^^
He brought it upon himself.

He should have quietly focused on state wide projects - projects that would speak for him in a way his mouth clearly cannot. Instead, he has turned himself into a mouthpiece for BAT.

It will soon reach a point when he'll start communicating via sign language. undecided

Honestly I never expected this level of sycophancy from any governor. His own is too much. Almost seem like Tinubu is the air he breathes
