"My administration has successfully utilized the SHINE Agenda to develop various sectors of the Edo economy especially security, health, infrastructure, natural resources and agriculture and education.

The Special Adviser (SA) on religious matters to Edo State governor and chaplain of Government House Chapel, Apst Sule Faraday Azekhumen in his welcome address commended the administration of senator Okpebholo in the fight against cultism and insecurity in the State.

"We acknowledge the courage and determination your administration has shown standing firmly against cultism and insecurity, strengthening collaboration with security agencies, creating employment opportunities, supporting rural development, empowering agriculture and maintaining a respectful partnership with the church in Edo State".

 The Guest preacher Apostle Favour Mopa Awom emphasized the place of power in the fulfilment of God's purpose urged the congregation to thirst after the power of God which is the best of all gifts.

Reading from Psalm 62:11, Apst Awom said life assignment will be frustrated without power as power is needed and necessary for life because we are in a wicked world.
