An All Progressives Congress chieftain in Edo State, Julius Olele, has praised Governor Monday Okpebholo’s administration for its efforts in improving security, developing infrastructure and restoring public confidence ahead of its second anniversary.
Olele, a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in Edo State, said the governor had shown commitment to addressing residents’ concerns through road construction, stronger cooperation with security agencies and regular monitoring of government projects. Okpebholo is marking two years in office on Thursday, November 12, having been sworn in alongside his deputy, Dennis Idahosa, on November 12, 2024.
Speaking ahead of the anniversary, Olele said security had become a priority for the administration following concerns over kidnapping, cult-related violence and other criminal activities that previously affected residents, businesses and movement across the state. He explained that the government had strengthened its relationship with security agencies and introduced community-based security initiatives to address criminal activities.
On infrastructure, the APC chieftain commended the construction and rehabilitation of roads across the state, particularly the Ramat Park and Adesuwa flyovers in Benin City. He added that development projects were also being carried out in other parts of Edo, including rural communities. Olele identified the restoration of public confidence as another achievement, saying residents expected a government that was accessible, visible and committed to delivering results.
He also noted that the governor’s regular visits to project sites demonstrated his involvement in monitoring construction work and ensuring quality. According to him, improved confidence in personal safety and efforts to tackle crime have been important developments under the administration, while investments in road infrastructure could improve transportation and boost commercial activities.
However, Olele acknowledged that unfinished road projects remained a major responsibility for the government. He urged the administration to sustain construction efforts and ensure that completed projects meet the required standards. He noted that the rainy season had affected some construction activities but expressed confidence that contractors would continue working towards completing the projects. Olele urged residents to give the administration more time, arguing that its achievements within two years could provide a foundation for further development if the current pace was maintained.
