PRESS RELEASE
National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South-South, Chief Dan Orbih, has backed Governor Monday Okpebholo’s developmental strides within just one month in office.
Chief Orbih who was the father of the day at the first anniversary of an online TV, said the Governor has only been in office for about one month now and is delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Edo State through practical governance.
His declaration came on a day the Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal began its sitting in Benin City, to hear the petition brought by the PDP against the election of Governor Monday Okpebholo at the September 21 governorship election.
Orbih said: “You have started well. Our prayer for you is to finish well. For over three weeks you have been the Governor of the State. You started well and are doing well for Edo people.
“For over four years, I refused to attend any function of this status, but with you as the Governor of Edo State, I have seen something new and will identify with you because you mean well for Edo people.”
Governor Monday Okpebholo who was also a guest at the event, commended the founder of the online TV station and urged her to keep up the good work, as the sky will be the starting point.
Governor Okpebholo said his administration will continue to support the brand, ensuring it succeeds in the broadcast world.
“I want to congratulate you on your giant strides. I met you for the first time in 2023 when I started campaigning for my Senatorial seat. I saw you running after my vehicle, showing determination and zeal to get your story.
“I am happy for your success in the last one year. The sky is your limit and you will do better than others. God will make it possible for you to be successful in the media world. We will support you because your office will be here in Edo state,” he added.
