Chuks Okocha in Abuja
A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded Edo state primaries, Dr. Blessing Agbomhere has sent out a congratulatory message to Senator Monday Okpebholo on his emergence as the candidate of the party for the September 2024 polls.
In his congratulatory message, Agbomhere said the nomination of Okpebholo is a testament to the resolve of Edo people to produce a credible and sellable candidate that can be trusted by the people of the state to deliver on good governance.
Agbomhere, who was the immediate past South-south Zonal Organising Secretary of the APC, said as a co-contestant, Okpebholo possesses such large amount of humility that melts the heart.
He posited that Okpebolo’s nomination was victory for all Edo people who had been yearning for a credible and just leader that can drive the developmental agenda of the APC family to secure a better life for Edo people.
“His emergence is a testament to the resolve of Edo APC family to enthrone internal party democracy which has now produced a credible, capable and sellable candidate that can be trusted to ensure that Edo people are lifted our of the present penury that they find themselves in, occasioned by the purposeless and vision-less PDP administration in the state.” the congratulatory message read in part.
Agbomhere also hailed the President Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for standing firm for free and fair primaries in Edo state.
He added that the transparent process adopted for the primaries ensured that a purpose driven and well respected candidate with integrity was produced.
The APC leader therefore admonished all party faithful in the state, all other aspirants, women, youths, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and all Edo people including former governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, to join hands with Okpebholo to ensure that the party wins the elections come September 2024.
Agbomhere said since the primaries is now over, it is time for respected leaders in the party such as Oshiomhole; Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Hon. Abubakar Momoh; Osagie Ize-Iyamu and others to show their commitment to the party by working for the election of Okpebholo as the next governor of Edo state.
