Governor Okpebholo also said; "I am an Esan man, I am an Edo man, I know what our problems are, and we will fix them all.

"They have been shouting, but Edo People unequivocally spoke through the ballot box.

"Even now that, we have defeated them at the Tribunal, they say they want to appeal..."

Finally, Okpebholo used the opportunity to announce to all, that the interest free loan that he earlier announced, for market women, will be disbursed in the next two weeks, as compilation of names of people that are interested in the loan, is ongoing.

Those that also spoke to the people, thanking them for their steadfastness, loyalty and support for the party, include the Commissioner for Finance, Barr. Lucky Eseigbe, Elder Willy Shaka Momodu, who spoke for Esan Central Local Government, Hon. Irene who spoke for Esan west, and a host of others.
