In a significant political move, Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has redeployed Felix Akhabue to the Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, effective immediately. This decision comes after Akhabue was removed from his position as Commissioner for Works.

The change in leadership at the Ministry of Works will see the Permanent Secretary oversee operations until a new commissioner is appointed. This swift action underscores Okpebholo’s commitment to reshaping his administration.

On the same day, Governor Okpebholo hosted a rally at the Auchi Open Field in Etsako West Local Government Area, where he welcomed several defectors into the All Progressives Congress (APC). Among those who joined were notable political figures from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

During the rally, Senator Adams Oshiomhole was endorsed as the sole candidate for the Edo North Senatorial District, marking a pivotal moment for the APC in the region. Okpebholo expressed gratitude to the new members, stating, “I thank those who have joined us today. By the time our 2.5 million votes are delivered, no one will challenge it.”

Hon. Benedicta Attoh, one of the defectors, emphasized the sentiment of returning home rather than defecting, saying, “We are not defecting; we are returning home.” This statement reflects a broader narrative of political realignment in Edo State.

Governor Okpebholo’s administration has been focused on development and improving living standards in Edo State, and these recent changes may signal a strategic shift in his approach to governance.

As the political landscape evolves, the implications of these changes will be closely monitored by both supporters and critics of the administration. The immediate effects of Akhabue’s redeployment and the rally’s outcomes will likely shape the future of the APC in Edo North.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the long-term impact of these developments on local governance and political alliances.
