NIPR congratulates Edo Governor-elect Okpebholo

Edo Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has congratulated Sen. Monday Okpebholo on his victory as the Governor-elect of  the state.

In a statement by the state Chairman, Dr James-Wisdom Abhulimen, in Benin on Tuesday, the NIPR acknowledged the Governor-elect’s achievement as well-deserved.

The Newsmen reports that Okpebholo is a member of the All Progessives Congress party.

Abhulimen encouraged  Okpebholo to embrace all stakeholders, irrespective of political affiliations, as he prepared for the responsibilities of his new office.

He urged the Governor-elect to lead an inclusive administration that welcomed diverse opinions, stressing that fostering unity would be crucial for a prosperous and united state.

He also advised  Okpebholo to assemble a team of technocrats with integrity, experience, and a passion for service.

“Such a team should ensure that his administration is guided by expertise and dedication as he pursues his vision of a “New Edo State.”

Highlighting the importance of continuity, Abhulimen urged the Governor-elect to prioritise the completion of ongoing projects initiated by the outgoing administration of Gov. Godwin Obaseki.

The chairman noted that doing so would demonstrate Okpebholo’s dedication to progress and sustainable development.
