Empower legislature — Tinubu advises Gov. Okpebholo

President Bola Tinubu has advised the newly sworn-in Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, to find a way of empowering the legislative arm of government and other institutions.

He insinuated that the previous administration’s attempts under Godwin Obaseki to undermine the legislative branch hindered its effectiveness for much of its tenure.

While congratulating Okpebholo on his inauguration as the Governor of Edo State, he reiterated that a robust and independent legislature is essential for achieving democratic good governance.

In his congratulatory message, President Tinubu urged the Edo Governor to diligently work to enhance the living standards of the people of the state and make a significant impact during his tenure.

Following his triumph in the state governorship election held on September 21, 2024, Okpebholo officially took over from former governor Godwin Obaseki.

Reflecting on the transition, President Tinubu noted that after eight years under Obaseki’s administration, Edo State is rejoining the ranks of the All Progressives Congress.
