Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has commended President Tinubu's policies and reforms, stating they are transforming Nigeria. He made this statement while receiving a political group, Relax Tinubu is fixing Nigeria (RTIFN), led by its Director General, Hon. Ahmed Balla, on a courtesy visit. Okpebholo expressed confidence in the president's capacity to deliver, citing the positive impact of his reforms on the nation.
According to Governor Okpebholo, Edo State is experiencing infrastructural growth due to President Tinubu's support and financial assistance. This support has enabled the state to embark on development projects, increasing the internally generated revenue for the nation. Okpebholo noted that the state's administration is finding it easier to govern with the president's reforms in place.
The governor emphasized that President Tinubu's policies have made it possible for states to receive more funds for development, eliminating the need for states to beg for funds to pay salaries. He expressed optimism that with the ongoing reforms, Nigeria will achieve success. Okpebholo also assured that there is no vacancy in Aso-Rock, reaffirming his confidence in President Tinubu's leadership.
Hon. Ahmed Balla, Director General of RTIFN, commended Governor Okpebholo for the transformational changes in Edo State. He appealed to the people of Edo to continue supporting the governor to achieve his developmental goals. Balla assured the governor that his group will support his re-election bid, although the exact year mentioned was 2028, which seems to be a discrepancy.
The RTIFN group is set to organize a South-South rally and Town Hall meeting to discuss President Tinubu's achievements. The events will take place in the South-South region and extend to the North-Central region in Lokoja, Kogi State. This initiative aims to engage people in discussions about the president's accomplishments.
Governor Okpebholo's administration has been involved in various development projects, including road inspections and repairs in the Benin metropolis. Additionally, the governor has welcomed the Federal Transport Data Centre, offering land for the project. These efforts demonstrate the governor's commitment to developing Edo State.
The governor's praise for President Tinubu's reforms and his confidence in the president's capacity to deliver highlight the positive relationship between the two leaders.
