Okpebholo, who attributed his electoral victory to President Tinubu’s support, emphasized that loyalty to the president should be visible in both actions and appearance.
He said, “This could not have happened if we did not have a responsible president.
“We have done many elections here, and the major problem we have had is that the president is not with us, but today we say thank you.”
The governor’s statement was seen as a reaffirmation of his allegiance to President Tinubu, under whose leadership the All Progressives Congress (APC) secured victory in the state’s last gubernatorial election.
