Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has called for a synergy between the executive and the judiciary to develop the state.
The governor claimed that the executive branch could not resolve all of the state’s issues without working in tandem with the legislature and judiciary to advance and expand the state while hosting representatives from the judiciary in Government House, led by Justice Daniel Okungbowa, the Chief Judge of Edo.
In order to guarantee the State’s quick development under his leadership, Okpebholo also urged the three branches of government to work together. The legislature has been quite cooperative, Governor Okpebholo noted, particularly with regard to the Appropriation Bill, guaranteeing its passage for the people’s benefit. He called on the judiciary to do the same, working with his administration to guarantee that justice is served in order to advance the State’s expansion and advancement.
“Today, I am happy to see the Chief Judge and members of the judiciary. Yes, we have challenges in Edo State, and the executive cannot solve them alone as we need to synergize to develop and grow the state.”
“I need synergy between the three arms of government, the executive, legislature, and the judiciary. The executive arm of government has worked with the legislature.”
The legislative arm is doing well as they honoured the requests in the budget, supplementary budget, and other requests we made. They helped us to make the process easy.
“I welcome you all to Government House today. This visit is long overdue because in my inaugural speech, I said I would collaborate and work in synergy with the three arms of government, especially the judiciary.”
“When I didn’t see the judiciary I was afraid, but I am happy now that you are here on this courtesy visit. As a parliamentarian, I know what other State governors go through, but the way they open their arms to receive me, I am very happy. I believe the Judiciary will do the same, starting from today.”
“My drive is to develop Edo State. We will build on our educational system and improve on it. We will do the same to the Judiciary to ensure that the Judiciary also succeeds in their activities.”
“Synergy between the executive and the judiciary is very important, and I commend the Chief Judge for the visit. Inclusiveness in governance is very important. I urge you to support the administration to enable us to succeed because to be successful, it will be a collective decision to carry everyone and the State forward,” Governor Okpebholo said.
According to the Chief Judge, they were dedicated to providing the public with justice.
Assuring Governor Okpebholo that the Judiciary will collaborate with the Executive and Legislature to advance the State and guarantee that the people have access to good governance, he stated that they were in Government House to become acquainted with the Executive.
