.... Declare Three Days Of Thanksgiving For The State 


Edo State Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo said his administration will commence work on mechanical and peanut roads to decongest traffic gridlock on the Sapele road axis in Benin City.

He noted that officials of the Ministry of works will evaluate the road and commence work to ensure Edo people enjoy good and motorable roads across the State.

Gov Okpebholo said his administration is working hard to ensure that Edo State is safe and conducive for citizens and none citizens alike as cultism has been fought to a standstill.

"Today we are no longer afraid of cultism in the State as our administration is working hard to put an end to cultism in the state. God is using me to change the story of Edo state".

He thanked pastor Charles Osazuwa for his prayers as his prophecy came to pass as he won the governorship election to become governor of Edo state.

"I thank the man of God, anytime I step here, I see the spirit of God and the demonstration of his power. I came here to tell you about my ambition to contest for the Governorship seat, he said I should go ahead that I will win the election.

"Nobody believed I would win the election, but I won and the State is benefiting from my leadership as I am developing the State to the benefits of Edo people"

Responding to the request of  Pastor Charles Osazuwa on declaring a day of thanksgiving for the State, gov Okpebholo said Edo state is a Christian State and God has been faithful to the State, noting that his request has been granted.

"Edo State is a Christian State and what you have requested is granted but instead of one day, we will declare a three day thanksgiving and praise event for Jesus Christ.

"You voted for me because you want Edo state to be developed. Peanut and mechanic road to the by-pass will be constructed. Consider the road done".

Delivering his sermon titled "The Force Of Expectation" Pastor Charles Osazuwa said citizens should trust God Almighty and believe in Nigeria to come out from the challenges and problems facing the nation.

Reading from Jer.20:11; Gen. 2:7; Gen. 18:14 said he believes in Nigeria, believed in God as Nigeria will overcome the challenges facing the nation soonest.

Pastor Osazuwa appealed to Governor Okpebholo to fix the mechanic and peanut road which is a strategic road to decongest traffic gridlock in Sapele road. 

He also called on the governor to fix a day for Edo State to thank God and ensure the day is maintained and continued by other administrations after him.

The governor also worshipped at Winners Chapter Church in Sapele road.

The Edo State High Court has declared unlawful the restriction of human and vehicular movement during the state’s environmental sanitation exercise, in a landmark judgment delivered on Thursday. Justice Isoken Urhomwen Erameh ruled that the enforcement of a stay-at-home order between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on sanitation days violates citizens’ constitutional rights. In its decision, the court held that such restrictions are inconsistent with Section 41(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, which guarantees freedom of movement.

The court also granted a perpetual injunction restraining the Edo State Government, its agents, officers and privies from restricting or interfering ...

The court further stated that the appellants failed to call witnesses or tender admissible evidence to prove irregularities in the disputed polling units. With this ruling, the Supreme Court has affirmed the outcome of the election as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
