In a robust defense of Senator Monday Okpebholo, former Edo State Governor and APC stalwart, Adams Oshiomole, has issued a stark rebuttal to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Amid growing criticism and political tension, Oshiomole emphatically declared, “Monday Okpebholo is the man the people want, so deal with it.”
The statement comes in response to the PDP’s ongoing objections to Okpebholo’s candidacy, questioning his suitability and the legitimacy of his support. Oshiomole, known for his direct and unapologetic style, did not mince words in his endorsement of Okpebholo.
“Monday Okpebholo has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to the people he represents. His record speaks volumes, and the overwhelming support he has garnered is a testament to his effectiveness and dedication. The people have spoken, and it’s clear they stand with Okpebholo,” Oshiomole stated.

He went on to challenge the PDP’s narrative, asserting that their criticisms are unfounded and merely a reflection of their political frustration and jealousy. “The PDP needs to come to terms with the reality that Monday Okpebholo is the chosen representative of the people. Rather than resorting to baseless accusations and attempts to undermine his credibility, even threatening his life and security, they should respect the democratic process and the will of the electorate,” he added.
Senator Okpebholo, who has been a vocal advocate for various social and infrastructural projects in his constituency, expressed gratitude for Oshiomole’s support. “I am honored to have the endorsement of a leader like Adams Oshiomole and now the deputy governor if edo state Phillip Shaibu. My commitment to the people remains unwavering, and I will continue to work tirelessly to fulfill their trust and expectations,” Okpebholo remarked.
The political landscape in Edo State has been highly charged, with both the APC and PDP vying for dominance. Okpebholo’s candidacy has been a focal point of contention, highlighting the broader struggle for political influence in the state.
Oshiomole’s defense of Okpebholo underscores the APC’s confidence in his leadership and their belief in his ability to deliver on his promises. It also serves as a call to action for Okpebholo’s supporters to rally behind him in the face of opposition.
As the political discourse continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: Monday Okpebholo has emerged as a significant figure in Edo State’s political arena, with a strong backing from influential leaders and a solid base of popular support. Whether the PDP can effectively counter this momentum remains to be seen, but for now, Oshiomole’s message is unequivocal: “Deal with it.”
