Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will return to power at the end of Governor Godwin Obaseki’s tenure in November.
Oshiomhole said Edo State will rise again starting November 12 when APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, succeeds Obaseki.
He spoke at the new APC secretariat on Ikpokpan Road, off Boundary-Sapele Road in Benin, while welcoming a PDP chieftain, Nosa Adams, along with thousands of PDP members into 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.
Voters in Edo state will go to polls later this year to elect a new governor .
Current governor Godwin Obaseki is not running after completing his constitutionally allowed two terms .
But he has endorsed Asue Ighodalo who is representing PDP to take over from him
