Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has commended President Tinubu's policies and reforms, stating they are transforming Nigeria.

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.

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.
