Progress is not always something you wait for. Sometimes, you can see it rising right in front of you.

In Irrua, a 700 shop Ultra Modern Market is still ongoing , but the impact is already being felt. Traders and residents are watching closely, hopeful and excited about what this project will bring to their daily lives.

For many, this is more than a market. It is a future of better business, improved income, and a more organized space to thrive.

This is what development looks like when it is people centered.
Under Monday Okpebholo, projects are not just announced, they are actively taking shape in communities, creating real opportunities.
Esan Central is watching something important unfold. And when completed, it will stand as a strong driver of local economic growth.

Tinubu, Okpebholo Hailed as Sapele Road Repairs Bring Relief to Businesses in Benin

Traders, business owners and residents along the Sapele Road axis in Benin City have praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, for finally fixing the long-abandoned Benin–Sapele Road.

Many described the reconstruction as a huge relief after years of hardship caused by the road’s terrible condition. According to them, the bad road affected their daily lives, slowed business activities and discouraged customers.

A transporter,Amadi Great said "My brother,I can't really appreciate the governor enough but to say God bless him. This spot where I am now was not possible to get to. Even that time governor Obaseki as governor could not pass here. His vehicle was stocked here and he was crying that this is federal road. Thank God Okpebholo has done it for us".

A second-hand clothing trader, Mrs. Romary Obazee, said the difference is clear.

“We are very happy now. Before, the road was terrible, and customers found it hard to come here. Today, vehicles move easily, and transporting goods is no longer a problem. Our sales have improved,” she said, while urging the government to ensure contractors finish the remaining sections quickly, especially with the rainy season close.

Also speaking, a battery and car accessories dealer, Mr. Richard Erahbor, recalled how the area used to be cut off whenever it rained.

“This place used to be flooded and impassable. Now, the road is good and motorable. We can truly say this government has kept its promise. Business is better because people can now move freely,” he said.

A vulcanizer, Mr. Osaro Nosa, added that the improved road has brought back customers and increased daily income for traders in the area.

Residents also commended the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, and Governor Okpebholo for personally inspecting the project to ensure quality work and proper use of public funds.

So far, several failed portions of the road have been repaired, while other sections are still being rebuilt. From Ring Road through Sapele Road to the bypass, the improved road has eased traffic and revived business activities, bringing fresh hope to the entire axis.

*2027 Outlook: Oshiomhole Poised for Uncontested Edo North APC Ticket, Coasting to Realistic Unbroken Two Term*

*_By Chris Osa Uhunmwangho_*

As conversations around the 2027 general elections begin to gather momentum, political watchers, analysts, and commentators are already reading the signs and making projections. Across Edo State, one thing is clear: the battle for party tickets, especially within the All Progressives Congress (APC), has quietly begun.

With Governor Monday Okpebholo’s administration turning Edo into what many now describe as a massive construction hub, the APC ticket is widely viewed as the most reliable route to electoral victory. This perception has triggered intense interest among politicians eyeing various positions across the state.

Yet, amid the growing scramble, one ticket appears remarkably calm and virtually uncontested, the Edo North senatorial ticket of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Currently representing Edo North at the National Assembly, Oshiomhole stands as ……READ MORE… https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1G4Tvv1LMe/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The Edo State Police Command is not doing enough to effectively support the administration of Senator Monday Okpegholo, whose government has shown clear commitment to development, peace, and the welfare of Edo people. Security is the backbone of any meaningful development, and when law enforcement fails to act professionally and proactively, it undermines the genuine efforts of a well-meaning government.
Rather than prioritising intelligence gathering, community policing, and proactive crime prevention, many officers within the State Command appear more focused on harassing innocent young people. The frequent arrest of youths without concrete evidence, indiscriminate searching of mobile phones, and baseless allegations of fraud have become disturbing trends. Worse still, these practices are often accompanied by extortion, intimidation, and abuse of power, which further erode public trust in the police.
This approach does not address the real security challenges facing Edo State. Kidnapping, armed robbery, cult-related violence, and other criminal activities require strategic intelligence, surveillance, and collaboration with local communities. Unfortunately, the lack of effective intelligence gathering and proactive policing has allowed insecurity to persist, thereby countering the good work and developmental strides of the Okpegholo-led administration.
A government that is investing in infrastructure, social development, and economic growth deserves strong institutional support from security agencies. When citizens feel unsafe or are treated as suspects simply for being young, it creates fear, resentment, and social tension. This environment discourages investment, weakens community cooperation, and ultimately slows development.
The Edo State Police Command must urgently rethink its strategy. Professionalism, respect for human rights, intelligence-led policing, and genuine partnership with the public are essential. By aligning its operations with the vision of Distinguished Leader Senator Monday Okpegholo, the Police can play a constructive role in securing lives, protecting property, and ensuring that Edo State continues on its path of peace and progress.
