A Release from Community Journalists for Asiwaju: Amplifying Nigeria Greatness to the Global Media Space

Edo people, hear this loud and clear: Your government is awake. Your government is working.

The Edo State House of Assembly has decisively backed His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo’s anti-crime drive and passed the CCTV Bill. This is not politics. This is protection. This is legislative and executive synergy in action, and it is exactly what Edo needs at this time.

Crime thrives in darkness. The Okpebholo administration is turning on the light. With the passage of the CCTV Bill, the Governor and the lawmakers have drawn a line in the sand: Edo will no longer be a safe haven for criminals. Every street, every market, every school, and every community will be watched. Offenders will be tracked. Justice will be swift.

This is the leadership we voted for. Decisive. Bold. Pro-people. The executive has brought the vision. The legislature has matched it with law. That is how government should work. No delay. No excuses. Just results under the Akpakomiza SHINE Agenda.

To our communities in Esan Central and across the 18 LGAs: this Bill is for you. It means safer roads for our mothers going to market. Safer schools for our children. Safer businesses for our youths. It means that those who destroy peace will have nowhere to hide.

We commend the Edo lawmakers for putting people above politics. We commend Governor Okpebholo for leading from the front. But laws alone are not enough. Implementation must be immediate, visible, and community-driven.

Esan News Magazine, Esan United for Good Governance, Equity and Justice, and patriotic stakeholders across Edo call for grassroots monitoring committees to ensure these CCTV systems are installed, maintained, and used to deliver real safety.

The message is simple: Edo is rising. Edo is securing its future. With this synergy between the legislative and executive arms, we are telling criminals: your time is up.

Governor Okpebholo, the Assembly has done its part. The people are behind you. Secure Edo. Protect Edo. Deliver Edo.

Service to the People. Voice for the Nation. Pride for Nigeria.
