Monday Okpebholo has officially been sworn in as the Governor of Edo State, concluding Godwin Obaseki's eight-year administration in the South-South region.

The inauguration ceremony was held on Tuesday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, the capital of Edo State. Okpebholo's swearing-in comes two months after the All-Progressives Congress (APC) secured victory, granting them the ticket to the Dennis Osadebay House.

Governor Okpebholo took the oath of office alongside his deputy, Dennis Idahosa, signaling the start of their administration and a new chapter for the people of Edo State.
