Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has extended heartfelt birthday wishes to former Governor and Senator, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, recognizing his profound impact on the state’s development and governance.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, Governor Okpebholo lauded Oshiomhole’s visionary leadership, which he said has left an indelible mark on Edo State’s infrastructure, education, and healthcare systems.
“Today, we celebrate a leader whose dedication to the people of Edo State remains unmatched. His contributions continue to inspire progress and growth in our great state,” Okpebholo said.
The governor highlighted Oshiomhole’s tenure as a period of transformation, attributing significant developmental strides to his leadership. He also expressed gratitude for the former governor’s continued service to the people, both at the state and national levels.
As friends, family, and well-wishers gather to celebrate the former governor’s birthday, Governor Okpebholo prayed for continued strength, wisdom, and good health for Oshiomhole, urging him to remain a guiding force in the state’s political and social landscape.
Oshiomhole, a former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), served as the Governor of Edo State from 2008 to 2016. His administration was marked by bold infrastructural projects, workers’ welfare reforms, and strong political engagement.
With his current role in the Senate, many still see Oshiomhole as a formidable political figure whose influence continues to shape Edo State’s governance and policy direction.
