\n
Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, the Imo state governor, Hope Uzodima, Cross River state, Prince Bassey Edet Otu, Ondo state governor, Lucky Oyedatiwa and the Nassarawa governor Abdullahi Sule, yesterday rapped up campaign for the Edo State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\nAddressing the party faithful at the University of Benin Indoors Sports Complex, Ugbowo Campus, Vice President Shettima said Edo State needs a strategic thinker, builder and a man with a compassionate heart that can lead his people aright.<\/p>\n

He said intelligence is not determined by the size of the head\u00a0\u00a0but ones ability to solve problems that affect the people.<\/p>\n

Shettima added he has absolute confidence in Senator Monday Okpebholo and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of the state.<\/p>\n

He urged the people of the state to come out in their large number to vote for the candidates of the APC come September 21.<\/p>\n

Speaking also, the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio said he believes in the capacity of Senator Monday Okpebholo and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa to deliver on their electoral mandate.<\/p>\n

He said he doesn\u2019t need somebody who can speak \u201cgrammar\u201d but one who can perform.<\/p>\n

Senator Akpabio said senator Monday Okpebholo as a senator, has been living up to his billings in the senate, stressing that there is no doubt about his ability to deliver the dividends of democracy at all.<\/p>\n

On his part, Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole said governor Godwin Obaseki has been insensitive to the plights of the people of the state noting that there is nothing to write home about his eight years in office as the governor of the state.<\/p>\n

He said the markets that were burnt during his tenure were not rebuilt rather the hospital and the state library have been converted into museum and a shopping mall, respectively.<\/p>\n

On the part of the national chairman of the party, Umar Ganduje, he said the state have been mismanaged for the past eight years as it was marred with insecurity, unemployment and that it is time for them to take it back by voting the APC.<\/p>\n

He said with the likes of Senator Monday Okpebholo and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa who are lawmakers, the state is in a safe hands.<\/p>\n

On the part of the governorship candidate of the party, Senator Monday Okpebholo, he said he would employ 5000 teachers within his 100 days in office as governor of the state.<\/p>\n

He assured the market women of soft loans to boost their businesses just as he promised to build primary healthcare around the 192 wards in the state.<\/p>\n

Earlier the national chairman of the party, Ganduje received former senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Senator Francis Alimikhena and the former member representing Oredo federal constituency, Engr. Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama who decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the APC.<\/p>\n

Speaking, Senator Francis Alimikhena who said he was glad to be back to the APC, said he was going to mobilize his followers to vote for the party in the forthcoming governorship election.<\/p>\n

Taking his turn, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, said he had earlier advised his former party, the PDP against its decision when it brought in Governor Godwin Obaseki in 2020 but they didn\u2019t listened to him.<\/p>\n

He said also advised when they again brought in Asue Ighodalo, the governorship candidate of the PDP but they still not listened to him<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2020, I advised PDP against impunity, when they brought in Governor Godwin Obaseki through the back door. In 2024, governor Godwin Obaseki, His Excellency who came through the back door, went to Lagos to bring Asue Ighodalo through the back door. The man only joined the party in September last year. That impunity must stopped.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those who supported that, the national working committee , they should come with their Voter Cards on Saturday. And for those who didn\u2019t face their states and said that the governor must produce his successor, they should also come on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor and I are from the same local government. The results will tell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did that to him in 2020 we will do it again for Monday Okpebholo in 2024\u201d, Ogbeide-Ihama said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
