Okphebholo’s emergence came after his victory in the September 21, 2024 governorship election in the state, having defeated his closest rival and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Asue Ighodalo.

Okpebholo becomes the fifth governor of the state since the Fourth Republic commenced in 1999.

Prominent figures in attendance at the inauguration included Vice-President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, reinstated Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, and other governors affiliated with the APC.
