75K for Who? For All! Okpebholo Shakes Edo Workers With A Workers’ Day Bombshell

Clear the road, make way — Governor Monday Okpebholo has done it again! On a day meant to honour the sweat and spirit of the Edo workforce, His Excellency decided not to just speak, but to sprinkle blessing money into the air — N75,000 minimum wage for Edo workers! Who dey breathe?

Picture this: under the soft hum of anticipation at the May Day celebration, this man — yes, the man in the now-iconic khaki NLC outfit and calm glasses glare — was seated quietly, fingers tapping away. No one knew he was about to drop a financial obrigado that would leave Edo workers singing, “Na who do us better like this?”

Like a true commander of compassion, Okpebholo didn’t wait for endless meetings or Abuja approvals — he moved with style, precision, and a heart for the people. While some are still issuing “we’ll look into it” statements, Okpebholo raised the bar, carried the mic, and dropped the beat of progress.

Edo workers didn’t just get an increase — they got a salary revolution. From the market women whose children can now attend better schools, to the civil servant who can finally upgrade from okrika to boutique fresh, the ripple is real.

One jubilant worker was heard shouting, “Na Monday we dey see so? This man dey reason like Friday bonus!” Another screamed, “Even my landlord go fear this new salary!”

But beyond the dance and chants, one thing is clear: Governor Okpebholo has cemented his place as the workers’ governor. In a time when other states are dodging wage conversations like NEPA bills, Edo has shown that leadership is not just about occupying a seat, it’s about touching lives.

So to all Edo workers, put some respect on that name — M.O.N.D.A.Y means Money On Naija Day for All You!

Na the beginning be this — make una hold am tight. Na Governor wey sabi be this!
