A frontline aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, Dr. Blessing Agbomhere, has urged the leadership of the party to reward his loyalty to the party with the party’s ticket for this year’s election in the state.

In a letter dated January 4, 2024,  which he addressed to the National Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Umar Ganduje, and copied President Bola Tinubu, the Secretary to Government of Federation (SGF), George Akume, and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, and other stakeholders in the party, Agbomhere, who is the current South-South Zonal Organising secretary, said it is in the habit of President Tinubu to reward loyalty and dedication to the party, and therefore, his request to be given the party’s ticket is not out of place.

He said in the letter that as part of his service to the party, “at the peak of my career as a media and security consultant, and with my personal resources, I have supported young people and women with grants for skills’ acquisition, scholarship and entrepreneurship.

“To mention a few things from the many community services I have rendered; I have done constantly for years, hospital visitations, providing food for the sick and paying medical bills. I have done free medical outreaches in Edo North communities of Okpella, Auchi, Jattu, Aviele, Agenebode and Fugar, and many other communities.

“I donated a 44-bed hostel to Itseoghena Orphanage in Jattu community when I discovered in 2017 that the facility accommodating the children was too small for their comfort.

“I donated a 16-seater Toyota Hiace Bus to the Avhianwu Traditional Council in Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State to ensure that they function effectively in discharging their cultural obligations. I have bulldozed and graded the Ughiogwa Farm Road in Fugar to enable farmers and traders have unhindered access to their means of livelihood.

“I have provided free writing materials to students in various communities of Edo State. I have rendered community services in Surulere Lagos, Marina and Cacemco Beach, Calabar, in Port Harcourt, Mpape, Agwadodo and Kuchigoro in FCT, Isiuwa in Benin City, Ujiogba Community in Esanland, Ibviaru Community in Owan, Ugbogbo in Akoko Edo, Yenuzue Gene and Azikoro Villages in Bayelsa State and Bama in Borno State.”

The aspirant said it gives him immeasurable joy to help the needy, adding that: “I have also empowered many young women across Nigeria to live the good life because I am a good man with a golden heart. I like to see others happy as I believe my happiness is found in the happiness of others. I have helped many Edo people and non-Edo people to succeed in education, business, skills acquisition, politics, entrepreneurship and public employment.
