The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has advised Senator Monday Okpebholo, the newly elected governor of Edo State, to prioritize governance over investigating his predecessor, Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Key Takeaways from Ganduje’s Advice

  • Action-Oriented Governance: During a thank-you visit from Senator Okpebholo to the APC National Working Committee (NWC), Ganduje urged him to “hit the ground running” and focus on the socio-economic development of the state rather than dwelling on the past administration. He emphasized that a progressive government should not waste time on conflicts with previous leaders.
  • Implementation of the Manifesto: Ganduje encouraged Okpebholo to adhere closely to the manifesto he presented during his campaign. He stated, “Think forward and be an action governor,” reiterating the belief that Okpebholo can make the people of Edo proud through effective governance.
  • Party Support and Resources: The APC chairman assured Okpebholo of the party’s readiness to support his administration. He highlighted the establishment of a progressive institute, which will aid in training personnel, especially at the local government level. This institute aims to help align the party’s agenda with the needs of the Nigerian people.

Okpebholo’s Acknowledgments

In response, Okpebholo expressed gratitude to Ganduje for his efforts in securing victory for the party in Edo State, acknowledging the challenges faced during the election. He praised the peaceful conduct of the election, noting that there were no reported casualties on election day, which was a significant improvement compared to past elections.

Okpebholo emphasized that this victory represents a new dawn for the people of Edo State and expressed optimism about the future of his administration.

Conclusion

Ganduje’s guidance reflects a strategic approach to governance aimed at fostering stability and progress in Edo State. By focusing on actionable policies and collaboration within the party, Okpebholo aims to build a productive and inclusive administration that addresses the needs of the citizens.
