Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo warns unnamed “sponsors of insecurity” to desist, saying such actions should not be used to distract President Bola Tinubu from governance. According to the reports, Okpebholo frames the call as urging opposition actors and those behind insecurity to allow the federal administration to focus on policy and public service delivery. He also defends Tinubu’s leadership, presenting the claim that insecurity is being leveraged as a diversion rather than a primary challenge to be exploited politically. The reports describe Okpebholo’s comments as part of a broader appeal for restraint and attention to governance. While the outlets emphasize different phrasing, both convey that the Edo governor is challenging parties allegedly involved in fueling instability and urging a shift from blame and disruption to constructive engagement with government priorities.
