JUST IN: Gov Okpebholo Orders Contractors Back To Sites 24-Hours After Assuming Office—-Gov. Monday Okpebholo of Edo, on Wednesday, ordered contractors in the state to return to sites and immediately fix failed portions within the Benin metropolis.

Okpebholo gave this directive during an inspection tour of the Upper Mission Extension Road by Aduwawa Junction and the Ramat Park axis in Benin.

At Aduwawa Junction, Okpebholo said his administration, in line with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was committed to restoring the hope of the Edo people.

Decrying the bad state of the roads, Okpebholo assured the people that work would commence immediately, adding that he was eager to bring the dividends of democracy to the people.

He stressed that the Edo people deserve good and motorable roads.

“During the campaigns, I promised that I was going to hit the ground running with road rehabilitation and construction.

“Today, I have ordered contractors back to sites. We have no time to waste.

“We promised our people that we would fix and construct the roads. There is only one dry season in a year. This is the time to immediately move to sites and fix the roads.

“So, Edo people should expect good things to happen. We will fix our roads and ensure that our people enjoy the dividends of democracy,” he said.

According to him, work is expected to commence immediately on the 7.5 km Temboga Road, Lucky Way Junction by Aduwawa, and Ramat Park.

Others are Eyaen Road and Obadan Junction along the Benin – Auchi Expressway.

The governor, during the road tour, inaugurated the Edo branch of Premium Trust Bank in Benin.

President Tinubu Appoint Rtd Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas As River State Administrator

According to latest report, Ibas will take over from Governor Siminalayi Fubara who was suspended for six months by President Tinubu following the declaration of a State of Emergency in the oil-rich State.

The development followed a prolonged political crisis in the State arising from the face-off between Fubara and 27 lawmakers.

Tinubu in a nationwide broadcast on Tuesday evening said: “By this declaration, the Governor of Rivers State, Mr Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Mrs Ngozi Odu and all elected members of the House of Assembly of Rivers State are hereby suspended for an initial period of six months.

“In the meantime, I hereby nominate Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd) as Administrator to take charge of the affairs of the state in the interest of the good people of Rivers State. For the avoidance of doubt, this declaration does not affect the judicial arm of Rivers State, which shall continue to function in accordance with their constitutional mandate.

“The Administrator will not make any new laws. He will, however, be free to formulate regulations as may be found necessary to do his job, but such regulations will need to be considered and approved by the Federal Executive Council and promulgated by the President for the state.”

BREAKING: The Trump Administration Has Reportedly Halt All Aid to Ukraine—-Donald Trump administration press secretary Caroline Leavitt stated that the U.S. will no longer provide military assistance to Ukraine because their priority is peace negotiations.

“We are no longer going to just write blank checks for a war in a very distant country without a real, lasting peace,” Leavitt said.

“It was great that the cameras were rolling because the American people and the whole world got to see what President Trump and his team are dealing with behind closed doors in negotiations with the Ukrainians,” she added.

Earlier, The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration is not ruling out halting all ongoing military aid shipments to Ukraine, worth billions of dollars.
