"We Will Rid Edo of Criminals": Governor Monday Okpebholo Vows Unrelenting War Against Bandits and Kidnappers at APC Rallies
Speaking during high-velocity All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rallies across Edo Central and Edo North senatorial districts, the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, reaffirmed his administration’s uncompromising stance against violent crime. The rallies, organized ahead of next month's local government elections, served as a platform for the state executive to outline both security milestones and rapid infrastructural expansions.
Flanked by the former Governor of Edo State and current Senator representing Edo North, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Okpebholo emphasized that his administration will neither relent nor compromise in its mission to eliminate kidnappers, bandits, and criminal syndicates from the state. Oshiomhole fiercely commended the ongoing security crackdown, urging Edo residents to sustain their support for the government's aggressive law enforcement strategies to safeguard lives and commercial corridors.
Federal Alignment: Turning Political Continuity Into Road Infrastructure
A key focal point of the rally was the direct connection between state loyalty to the central government and immediate development projects. Governor Okpebholo shared an inside account of how his personal relationship with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu translated into concrete road building interventions for Edo citizens.
Security and Development: Evaluating the State’s New Trajectory
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole framed the current governance cycle as a complete break from decades of stagnation. By tackling both the physical threat of banditry and the structural failure of transport networks simultaneously, the APC leadership aims to lock down total victory in the impending local government contests.
"I told Baba, 'We can't even go home because there is no road.' He said, 'Ah, call the Minister of Works.' Before you know it, a contract was awarded for concrete pavement. For 80 years, that road would have remained like that if not for his love for us... Tell your girlfriend, tell your boyfriend, tell your mama, tell your father about our 2.5 million votes!" — Governor Monday Okpebholo
Constitutional Milestones: The Local Government Mandate
As the political machinery shifts into top gear for next month's local elections, the administration is treating the ballot as a referendum on its security performance and infrastructure speed.
