The governor made the declaration at an APC campaign rally in Abudu, the headquarters of Orhionwon Local Government Area. He called on the people to sustain their support for the APC and its progressive agenda.
“A vote for President Tinubu is a vote for Okpebholo. It is a vote for APC and a vote for the progress of this country,” he said.
“The removal of fuel subsidy is the redemption of this country because Nigeria’s resources were in the hands of a few individuals. The gains of that action are why we are able to pay salaries today. We are working and developing the country.”
Governor Okpebholo urged the people to appreciate the economic reforms of the Tinubu administration. He noted that the benefits were creating opportunities for governments at all levels to meet their obligations and deliver development to the people.

The people of Orhionwon South erupted in jubilation at the rally. They applauded Governor Okpebholo for approving the electrification of the area. Residents said the community had been without electricity for over 25 years.
They described the approval as a major milestone. It would end decades of darkness, improve economic activities and enhance the quality of life in their communities.
Residents expressed appreciation to the governor for responding to their long-standing demand. They said the decision demonstrated his administration’s commitment to extending development to rural communities.
