Senator Adams Oshiomhole, a key voice in the state’s political landscape, expressed both surprise and optimism at the rare convergence.
“I honestly can’t recall the last time I saw this many representatives from Edo’s local governments come together so swiftly,” he said. “It proves that our work must go beyond infrastructure—beyond roads and schools. We must also invest in the unity of our people. That’s just as critical.”
This sentiment was echoed by Monday Okpebholo, another influential figure in Edo politics, who emphasized the importance of solidarity in a state that often finds itself navigating the complexities of minority status both ethnically and politically.
