Vice President Kashim Shettima arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja this morning, preparing for his trip to Benin City, where he will represent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the inauguration ceremony of Edo State Governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and Deputy Governor-elect, Rt. Honourable Dennis Idahosa. Shettima’s participation in this significant event underscores the importance of the new leadership in Edo State and highlights the federal government’s support for the incoming administration.

During the inauguration, Vice President Shettima will extend President Tinubu’s best wishes to Senator Okpebholo and his deputy, Idahosa, as they prepare to take on the responsibility of leading the state. As part of his remarks, Shettima will likely emphasize the need for collaboration between the federal and state governments to ensure the successful implementation of policies aimed at improving the lives of the people of Edo State.

The new leadership, under Okpebholo and Idahosa, will face numerous challenges, but with their experience and commitment to service, they are expected to focus on areas such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic development.
