“As the wise among us say, by Wednesday, one can already tell what Friday will bring. Two years ago, you elected His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo, as your Governor. Today, I am proud to stand in Benin City to reassure His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that he can count on you—and we have come to assure you that you can count on us as well. We know that securing this progressive victory is a task we must all undertake together. When we came to you four years ago, we assured you that we would not bridge our nation's infrastructure deficit without carrying Edo State along. We have not abandoned that pledge. We are determined to build roads on which a trader can transport goods without losing money to vehicle damage or transit delays. That is why we have begun work to dualize the highways connecting Ekpoma, Auchi, and Okpella, and why emergency repairs are underway along the Benin–Asaba and Benin–Sapele corridors. You have every right to hold us to our word until you can travel on these roads in complete comfort. Good people of Edo State, we have heard your call for the revival of industries across the state, and we recognize that industry cannot thrive without reliable energy. Today, we are proud to report that gas now flows through the completed Oben pipeline network. In addition, new transmission lines can now evacuate an additional 600 megawatts onto the national grid. We have also commissioned the Amukpe substation alongside solar mini-grids in Orhionmwon and surrounding communities. Edo State now regulates its own intra-state electricity market, while a proposed condensate refinery has entered the development stage. We remain fully committed to seeing these investments bear lasting fruit. Our attention to healthcare needs is reflected in our support for institutions such as the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), which now offers advanced radiotherapy for cancer patients and subsidized dialysis for eligible citizens. We have also prioritized major upgrades at the Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital and other federal medical facilities, alongside interventions across 158 public health centers throughout Edo State for the direct benefit of our people. Good people of Edo, through our education initiatives—including NELFUND—we are helping our children and wards remain in school and benefit from accessible higher education. We are also investing heavily in our educational institutions and the dedicated staff who sustain them. In agriculture and social protection, we have allocated subsidized inputs to farmers, expanded agricultural training programs, and enrolled our sons and daughters in vocational skills programs through the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), while assisting vulnerable citizens and communities affected by disasters. We have also improved the remuneration of our Armed Forces and prioritized their operational capabilities—alongside those of other security agencies—to strengthen national security and public safety. That progress is another reason we have returned to you with confidence. We have also listened to your historic demand that the priceless heritage and artifacts of Benin be returned to their rightful home. We are seeing concrete progress in this regard, with Cambridge transferring ownership in stages back to Nigeria. We honor His Royal Majesty, Omo N'Oba N'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, and all those who sustained this noble demand across generations.” Vice President Kashim Shettima speaks at the #RenewedHopeInEdo rally earlier today.

"I want to thank the President for not behaving like a politician. He behaved as a statesman, and a statesman has laid the foundation for sustainable growth and development. So for the young people, the jobs will come... President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has decided that one of the new divisions of the Nigerian Army be located in Benin. Before we only have a brigade, now we are going to have a whole military division, not only in Edo State, across the country. And that is part of his commitment to ensure that we fight and defeat the enemies of security in our land." - Senator Adams Oshiomhole At #RenewedHopeInEdo. #RenewedHope2_0

Senator Adams Oshiomhole At #RenewedHopeInEdo: "Being a pharmacist and the wife a former banker. Between the two they destroyed our power delivery system. They introduced introduced a flawed billing system. I spent a dozen government money to buy transformers to support these distribution companies, and yet once you do it, it became their property and they never gave us light. Now the good news is not to lament what they failed to do. The good news is to assure you in the manifesto, written black and white by the President, the next phase will ensure that power is radically reformed. When there is power, a lot of people are resourceful.... So I think with the power reform, the Nigerian economy will change, the manufacturing sector will come up, and every other thing will be fine. We just need to create jobs. We need to reinforce distribution of the gains of the reforms." #RenewedHope2_0

"It is because of the courage of that one man who removed the first obstacle and reformed the system before us. Mr President has made Nigeria shine, and we must make him shine again on January 16, 2027. We are following the government, and we stand firmly behind his leadership.” - Governor Monday Okpebholo At #RenewedHopeInEdo
