Okpebholo officially took office as the governor of Edo on Monday, concluding Godwin Obaseki’s eight-year leadership in the southern Nigerian state.
The inauguration ceremony was held on Tuesday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, the state’s capital, two months after the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the election for the Dennis Osadebay House.
Okpebholo was sworn in alongside his deputy, Dennis Idahosa.
The event was graced by distinguished guests, including the Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo and former Edo governor Adams Oshiomhole.
