The Unhappy Opposition: When Progress Becomes Their Greatest Disappointment By Amb. Edo Osaigbovo Gemma In every democracy, opposition plays an important role in holding government accountable and offering alternative perspectives. However, there are moments when political rivalry goes beyond healthy criticism and descends into an unhealthy desire to see government efforts fail, regardless of the consequences for the people. This unfortunate reality appears evident among certain opposition elements in Edo State, who seem unable to acknowledge any positive development recorded under the administration of Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo. Despite visible progress in infrastructure, security, education, and rural development, some individuals remain committed to dismissing, downplaying, or completely ignoring every achievement. Across the state, roads are being constructed and rehabilitated, abandoned projects are receiving renewed attention, and previously neglected communit...

*Exposing the Enemy Within* By Dr. Patrick Akhere Ebojele  The recent insecurity challenge in Edo State revealed a difficult reality that many would rather not confront: criminals do not operate in isolation. Behind many acts of kidnapping, robbery, and violent crime, anywhere, are networks of informants, sponsor s, and collaborators who provide the support that allows evil to thrive. This uncomfortable truth is what Governor Monday Okpebholo brought to the attention of Edo people recently.He exposed the fact that the fight against crime is not only about chasing men with weapons but also about exposing those who quietly assist them. The governor’s warning came after the shocking kidnapping incident at the Vegetable Market Off Airport Road in Benin City, where a mother was abducted in broad daylight in the presence of her husband and children from a stationary vehicle. The incident sparked public anger and concern, but it also demonstrated the determination of the Gover...

*COMMENDATION OF EDO STATE GOVERNMENT AND SECURITY OPERATIVES FOR SWIFT RESPONSE TO KIDNAPPING INCIDENTS* AIGUOBASINMWIN MOVEMENT WORLD-WIDE wishes to commend the Edo State Government and Security Operatives for their swift and proactive response to the recent kidnapping incidents at the Vegetable Market and other locations within the state. We note with appreciation the speed and coordination with which the rescue operations were carried out. The rate at which victims were rescued is rare, professional, and deserves commendation. This prompt action has restored confidence in the ability of government and security agencies to protect lives and property. We urge that this level of responsiveness be sustained and improved upon to deter future criminal activities across Edo State. We stand in solidarity with the government and security operatives as they continue to secure our communities. Oya-Yasinmwin-Evbomwan! *Signed:*    Mr. Iyamu Osaro Culture   Presid...

Gov. Okpebholo Threatens Death Warrant for Criminals, Rewards Police Over Vegetable Market Kidnap Arrest Edo State Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo has issued a blunt warning to criminals operating in the state: those who persist in crime will face prosecution, and he will personally sign their execution warrant. Okpebholo made the declaration on Thursday during a parade of suspects at the Edo State Police Command headquarters in Benin City, where he also rewarded officers who arrested a suspect linked to Sunday's kidnapping at the Vegetable Market.

We will take you to Ring Road roundabout so that Edo people can watch. I will have no regret about it. Don't take my simplicity for granted," the governor said. Governor Okpebholo s...
