The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has been sworn in as the 6th elected governor of Edo State.
The ceremony took place on Tuesday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, the state capital, two months after the All Progressives Congress (APC) clinched the ticket to the Dennis Osadebay House.
Sen. Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had defeated the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barr. Asue Ighodalo and that of the Labour Party Barr. Olumide Akpata, in the September 21 governorship election.
The ceremony was attended by some dignitaries including Vice President Kashim Shettima who represented President Bola Tinubu; governors under the APC; Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo; a former governor of the Edo Adams Oshiomhole among others.
Hon. Denise Idahosa was also sworn-in as the Deputy Governor of the state.
The duo were sworn-in by the Chief Judge of the state, Justice, Daniel Okongbowa.
