On Wednesday, Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Edo State governorship election on September 21, urged residents to support his candidacy to alleviate what he described as the suffering caused by the current administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Governor Godwin Obaseki.
During a ward-to-ward campaign event in Iguobazuwa, Ovia South West Local Government Area of Edo State, Okpebholo promised that his governance would address the needs of all Edo State residents, not just those in Edo Central. He emphasized that his administration would ensure the government’s presence would be felt throughout the entire state.
Okpebholo’s running mate, Dennis Idahosa, called on the people of Ovia to back the APC, highlighting that other local political leaders in the area had also joined the APC.
Additionally, former House of Representatives member Omosede Igbinedion encouraged voters in Ovia South West to support the APC, citing her alliance with Idahosa and her previous support for the party.
Former Governor Adams Oshiomhole, speaking at Ugbogui, reiterated his support for the APC candidate, urging the electorate to vote for Okpebholo on September 21.
He reminded voters of their past support for Idahosa and appealed to them to renew their support for both Idahosa and Okpebholo.
