 Gov. Okpebholo Bids Farewell to Senate


Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, bid an emotional farewell to the Senate on Wednesday, reflecting on his brief but impactful tenure representing the Edo Central Senatorial District. In a heartfelt valedictory speech delivered on the Senate floor, Okpebholo expressed gratitude for the camaraderie he experienced during his year-long service.


“Distinguished colleagues, this is a very emotional moment for me,” Okpebholo began. “Since joining the 10th Senate in June 2023, every moment here has been incredibly memorable. We viewed ourselves as champions of democracy, striving for the best for our nation. Though my time in the Senate was brief, my journey has led me to pursue the dream of becoming governor, and today I stand as the Governor of Edo State.”


He acknowledged the immense support he received from his Senate colleagues, stating that his journey would not be complete without them. He particularly thanked Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, for his encouragement during his campaign, as well as Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin for his wise political counsel.


“I am deeply grateful to my Senate Majority Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, for being a true brother, and to all my fellow senators. The relationships built here in the chambers have been invaluable.”


Governor Okpebholo also shared that his time in the Senate influenced his governance approach, particularly in areas like infrastructure, security, education, and health. He expressed pride in the collective successes achieved during his time as a senator.


Okpebholo, who was elected as a first-time senator for Edo Central on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform, also served as the Senate Committee Chairman on Public Procurement before stepping down to assume the role of governor.
