Henry J A closer examination of the allegations against Senator Monday Okpebholo reveals a web of deceit and political manipulation. Contrary to the claims, Okpebholo has not promised his senatorial seat to four different individuals in exchange for support. Instead, he has been the target of a smear campaign orchestrated by his political opponents. Sources close to the Senator reveal that he has been consistent in his commitment to serving the people of Edo Central and has not engaged in any backroom deals.
The allegations of promising his seat to Arc. Mike Onolememen, Chief Festus Ebea, Hon. Joe Ikpea, and Victor Eboigbe are baseless and unfounded. Onolememen’s sudden declaration of support for Okpebholo was not motivated by a desire for political office but rather a genuine desire to work towards the progress of Edo State. His decision to support Okpebholo was made after careful consideration and a recognition of the Senator’s commitment to the people of Edo State.
The claim that Okpebholo has agreed to give his Senate seat to Onolememen if the APC wins the election is a fabrication. Similarly, the assertion that Hon. Odi Okojie’s House of Reps seat will be given to Dr. Felix Akhabue (JOEFEL) is a malicious rumor aimed at causing discord and confusion. Hon. Okojie, the current House of Representatives member representing Esan NE/Esan SE federal constituency, has been a loyal party member and a dedicated public servant.
He has not been involved in any discussions regarding the exchange of political offices and remains committed to serving his constituents. The people of Edo State deserve truth and transparency in their political leaders. It is essential to be cautious of politically motivated smear campaigns aimed at discrediting dedicated public servants like Senator Monday Okpebholo. Henry J
