“When the righteous rule, the people will rejoice. What do you expect from a governor who is performing? Why will they stay in the opposition, they are uniting with the governor to develop the state, they are tired of faction and infighting within their former party, they have no option than to join hands with the governor to build the state. More are still coming to us, they are happy with what the governor is doing.
On alleged politicization of insecurity he said, “The PDP knows the cause of the insecurity in the state, it is expected when they tried to politicise it. This is a government that recently marked 100 days in office, apart from the days of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the PDP didn’t purchase a single Hilux for police operation.
“Okpebholo before he became a senator bought vehicles for Atalakpa security outfit in Edo Central senatorial district. We thank God that we have a proactive governor who knows what to do at the right time and I can assure you that very soon insecurity will be a thing of the past.
