The National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje has cautioned the newly elected governor of Edo state, Monday Okpebholo not to waste his time fighting Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Speaking when the newly elected governor paid him a thank-you-visit, Ganduje told Okpebholo to focus on governance, his manifesto, build bridges and establish good relationships with the stakeholders.
He said: “The ideals of democracy were upheld, the election was executed, and we are on the winning side. You should not focus on the previous administration. Look forward, don’t look back, and don’t waste your time fighting the person you took over from. There is no need.
“A progressive government does not have time for that. Focus on the manifesto you painstakingly produced. Follow it to the letter with the socio-economic development of the people, build bridges, and establish good relationships with the stakeholders.
“Think forward and be an action governor. During the campaign, you were an action candidate, and now you are an action governor. We believe it. We believe you will succeed and make the people of our winning state proud.”
The former Kano state governor assure Okpebholo that the party is ready to assist him in any way, adding, “but you must ensure that, from the ward level to the local government level and state level, all party offices are functional and physically habitable.

Responding, Okpebholo, who said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu secured Edo state for them, explained that the election was not easy, adding, “it wasn’t an easy one. I know how many times the Chairman called me. He said, how are you prepared? I want to be in Edo five days before the election. Yes, he came to the state. He was there, and everybody knew he came, and his impact was great.”
Appreciating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Okpebholo said, “I also want to use this opportunity to thank Mr. President, who secured Edo for us. There was absolute peace in Edo State. Before now, there was this kind of boast that people would die, but on the election day, nobody died. For me, the victory is something we in Edo State rejoice about because a new dawn has come to the Edo people.
“A new dawn has risen. I want to thank the working committee once more for the job well done, and I pray that God gives all of you long life and gives us prosperity.”
