Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has described his state as the greatest after Akwa Ibom in Nigeria.
Oshiomhole disclosed this during the Senate’s valedictory
session in honor of Governor Monday Okpebholo on the floor of the Upper
Legislative Chamber on Wednesday.
The lawmaker said Okpebholo had taken bold steps to reform
Edo State within 30 days of assuming office as governor.
According to Oshiomhole: “We all can say one thing about
Senator Monday, I have never met a man as humble as Monday.
“His humility is infectious, and yet, as a man of few words,
he’s made up for that through action and sustained actions in a manner that is
clear and discernible.
“Mr. President, we in Edo State are so happy because I can
go home now without fear, and in one month, he has gone into history as one of
the first governors who, under one week, started making appointments of men and
women who will help to sharpen the economy and social life of the people of Edo
State.
“He has already taken bold steps to restore respect to the
traditional institutions of Edo State, and he has already started doing those
things that will affect the infrastructural development of our great state,
which has been abandoned for many years. All those he appointed are people we
already know, like the Attorney General.
“I want to thank you, sir, for the leadership you provided,
not only while he was here but also for all the support that this Senate under
your leadership provided, morally and otherwise, to support, encourage, and do
everything that you could — other than coming to vote — which you are not
privileged to do because you are not registered in Edo State, but you relocated
to Edo to give us solidarity when you needed it the most.
“On behalf of the people of Edo State, who are very happy
that we have a new Sheriff in town, a progressive Sheriff for that matter, I
want to thank you for your leadership, your care, your support, and all the
senators you mobilized. Even when the former governor wanted to raid the INEC
office and change figures, some of our senators became boxers to protect the
votes of the people of Edo State.
“We are happy that in 30 days, Edo people are aware that
there is a new governor in town who is humble, resourceful, intelligent, with
few words, but maximum action.
“To all distinguished Senators who supported us in our
struggle to reclaim Edo State, we are very grateful. Senator Monday, I thank
you for the honor you have done to me as a person and the one you are doing to
all those who have met you after you became the executive governor of the
greatest state after Akwa Ibom.”
