According to him, “We commend Governor Godwin Obaseki for supporting the emergence of the member of the Edo State House of Assembly representing Owan West, Agbebaku as Speaker of the 8th State Assembly.

This development has put to rest the years-long marginalization of the Owan people in Edo politics, and as a people, we’re grateful to the Governor.

“It has further demonstrated that the Governor is a fair and just leader who has the interests of all Edo people at heart.”

Ohilebo, stated, “We commend the governor’s developmental strides across all sectors of the State and reassure our support for his administration’s transformative reforms and programmes which have set Edo State on the path of sustainable growth and development.

He added, “The Owan Patriotic Forum strongly believes that Agbebaku will effectively steer the affairs of the 8th Edo State House of Assembly, fostering productive debates and good legislation and engendering a harmonious working relationship between the executive and the legislature to advance the development of our dear State and improve the lives of the Edo people.”
