Edo residents now call me ‘Okpe’s baby’ — Okpebholo

Edo State Governor Okpebholo has been affectionately named "Okpe’s baby" by residents, replacing his previous nickname "Akpako Rescue." He expressed delight at the welcoming environment he receives from the public, stating that it brings him joy. During a live broadcast, the governor recounted his experience walking along Sapele Road, where people have started addressing him with sweet names instead of the typical gestures of pure water throwing.

The governor also voiced his confidence in President Bola Tinubu, attributing his support to the economic reforms introduced by his administration. He noted that these reforms are beginning to yield positive results, particularly in commodity prices and the foreign exchange market.
