Edo 2024: I’ll ‘Panel Beat’ Edo Into Prosperity, Growth — Okpebholo

The governorship hopeful who made this statement in an apparent reference to his political critic who described him as a ‘panel beater’, said he does not require outlandish grammar to tackle insecurity, provide functional health care, fix dilapidated roads, respect traditional institution and revamp the collapsed educational system.

Okpebholo who spoke at a media interactive session with members of the Edo State Correspondent Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Benin said his administration would immediately declare a state of emergency on insecurity if elected.

The APC candidate added that he does not really need a manifesto to understand how to deal with the hydra-headed problems and suffering inflicted on the state by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki.
