Monday Okpebholo has officially taken office as the new Governor of Edo State, bringing an end to the eight-year administration of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.
The swearing-in ceremony, held on Tuesday at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, marked a new chapter for the South-South state.
Okpebholo, who won the governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was accompanied by his running mate, Dennis Idahosa, as they both took the oath of office before a large crowd of dignitaries, party members, and supporters.

The APC’s victory in Edo State reflects a significant shift in the state’s political landscape, with Okpebholo now tasked with steering the state’s development and addressing pressing issues. His administration is set to occupy the Dennis Osadebay House, where he is expected to continue efforts to improve the welfare of Edo State residents.
This inauguration signals not only the end of Obaseki’s era but also the start of a new direction for Edo under Okpebholo’s leadership.
