Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has shown clear signs of effective leadership capable of improving the quality of life for the people of Edo State.
This affirmation was made by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hon. Paul Ohonbamu, in a statement in Benin City.
Ohonbamu emphasised that Governor Okpebholo is not one to be swayed by sycophants or distracted by political noise, but is instead focused on taking decisive actions aimed at delivering tangible results for the people.
Quoting German philosopher Peter Drucker, Ohonbamu noted, “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked. Leadership is defined by results and goal-oriented programmes — which Governor Okpebholo has already set in motion across the state.”
He assured the public that the present administration is determined to exceed the achievements of all previous governments in every area of development.
According to the Commissioner, the Governor recognises education as the cornerstone of societal progress.
This, he said, explains the administration’s ongoing massive rehabilitation of dilapidated school infrastructure and the recent decision to return some missionary schools to their original owners for better management.
He also highlighted the Governor’s approval of student bursaries, describing it as an unprecedented gesture in the political history of Edo State.
“Governor Okpebholo’s approach to governance reflects capacity, courage, and compassion. His policies have brought renewed confidence that the government can, and should, uplift the lives of the people,” Ohonbamu said.
The Commissioner further urged citizens to be law-abiding and embrace the teachings of Apostle Paul as recorded in 1 Timothy 2:1-3, calling for prayers, supplications, and thanksgiving for those in authority, including the Governor.
“People must understand that all authority is established by God. Leaders deserve our prayers and support. Governor Okpebholo’s success will translate to a better life for all Edo people,” he added.
