Okpebholo's grassroots push

In his post, Governor Okpebholo said he had met with leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from across the state to appreciate their support and reaffirm his administration's commitment to bringing governance to the grassroots level.

The governor wrote:

"The victory of our party is a collective victory, and our approach to governance must also be collective. Whatever comes from the top must reach the grassroots."

He added that the appointment of 4,800 Special Assistants was designed to ensure more people at the ward level could actively participate in governance and contribute to the development of their communities.

Okpebholo added:

"Together, we will continue to build a more inclusive and prosperous Edo State."

Davido's reaction goes viral

It was Davido's brief comment on the post that quickly drew attention online. The musician, who hails from Osun state, appeared to question whether the governor personally composed the detailed statement himself. His statement has started generating reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their comments:

Patrick Omoyeni Gcfr wrote:

"Unfortunately, your uncle can’t even complete two sentences in English. He can’t speak English, but somehow his band members understand him perfectly. They play the music, he dances, and the people of Osun conveniently forget everything. What a talent!"

"Bro..you are not in any way better oo, we saw you reading what they wrote for you few days back oooo."

Sudotech Limited said:

"Your brother, Mr Governor, did not even finish secondary school. He sat for only the English language and had F9. Your family is not in a position to abuse a governor for not being fluent in English."

Averroes tweeted:

"You no real at all. Your own Uncle even struggles to read what is written for him on paper. Your Uncle and Monday na the same. They are two peas in a pod."
