Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has asked parents not to allow their children join cult groups.

Okpebholo, who stated this in a message of felicitation to children in the state, said he recognised the Children’s Day as a significant opportunity to celebrate the boundless potential, innocence, and vibrant spirit of the young ones, who are the true leaders of tomorrow.

He reaffirms his administration’s unwavering commitment to ensuring their well-being, providing them with quality education, and creating an environment where they can thrive and realise their full potential.

He, however, donated two Hiace buses, one for the winning male school football team to Ogbe Secondary School and one for the winning female school football team to Idia College, Benin City.

The donations was part of the Children’s Day even yesterday which took place at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City, and underscore the governor’s dedication to providing resources and recognising the hard work of Edo’s brightest young talents, said Fred Itua, his Chief Press Secretary (CPS) in a statement.
