Monday Okpebholo has been sworn in as the governor of Edo State, marking an end to the eight years administration of Godwin Obaseki in the South-South state.

The inauguration ceremony took place on Tuesday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, the state capital.

Okpebholo took his oath of office alongside his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.
