Adams Oshiomhole, a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), has announced that he has no plans to seek a third term as the Senator representing Edo North.
He addressed the matter during a valedictory session held in the Senate on Wednesday, in honor of Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo.
The session included comments from Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who jokingly suggested that Okpebholo might “retire” Oshiomhole if he returned to the Senate.
Oshiomhole quickly clarified that such a scenario was impossible, as Okpebholo represents a different senatorial district—Edo Central.
Oshiomhole further shared that his retirement plans align with his current tenure, indicating he has no interest in extending his service to a third term.
His remarks came amidst reflections on Okpebholo’s political journey, including his recent victory in the September 21 Edo State governorship election.
Okpebholo, who emerged victorious against candidates from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party, has previously served as the Senator for Edo Central, cementing his influence in the region.
