Adams Oshiomhole, a senator from Edo North, confidently stated on Sunday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will regain power in Edo State after Governor Godwin Obaseki’s tenure ends in November.
Oshiomhole expressed his belief that Edo State will experience a resurgence beginning on November 12, when the APC candidate Monday Okpebholo succeeds Obaseki as governor.
During the event held at the new APC secretariat in Benin, Oshiomhole warmly welcomed Nosa Adams, a prominent member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), along with numerous PDP supporters who had decided to join the APC.
According to Oshiomhole:
“We will work very hard to ensure the defeat of PDP, Labour Party, and the 13 other participating political parties in Edo.
“APC will return to governance of Edo State on November 12, 2024, when the second tenure of PDP’s Godwin Obaseki will expire.
“Okpebholo, a grassroots politician, will re-ignite the engines of growth and development in this great Edo State, without speaking big grammar, consultancy or memoranda of understanding.
“We need a governor who can do, not a governor who can talk. Okpebholo, the incoming governor, will work very hard for Edo residents.
“The way to keep a political party together is to respect the elders. I am very excited with the transparent manner in which Nosa Adams meticulously identified and presented the defecting members of the executive at the ward and local government levels in Egor LGA of Edo State. No PDP member is left in Egor LGA.”
