I’ll continue from where Oshiomhole stopped in Edo – Okpebholo

Ahead of the September governorship election in Edo State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Monday Okpebholo, on Tuesday pledged to continue from where former governor Adams Oshiomhole stopped in the state.

Okpebholo spoke during the APC ward-to-ward campaign in Ovia North East local government Council area of Edo State.

The governorship candidate of the APC pledged to right all the wrongs of the Godwin Obaseki-led government since 2016.

“God with us, make me Governor. I will continue working from where my leader, former governor Adams Oshiomhole, stopped,” he said.

At Okada town, Okpebholo promised to bring development closer to the grassroots people, particularly ensuring they have good schools and amenities to live a good life.

While assuring them of the dividend of democracy and ensuring the development of the state if elected.

“Okada people will not regret voting for me as I will make sure all the schools, and health centres have qualified personnel to man them,” he said.

Speaking, the Deputy Governorship Candidate, Denise Idahosa, told the people of Ovia to appreciate APC for giving the deputy governorship ticket to their son.

He urged them to vote APC 100 percent, as we will ensure that, “Late Captain Hosa Okunbo’s land that was taken by Obaseki will be revoked and returned.”

A former commissioner in the state, Orobosa Omo-Ojo, urged members who recently joined the APC in the LGA that they would not be regarded as second fiddle.

Also, a former House of Representatives member, Omosede Igbinedion, told Okada people and the Yoruba community to vote for APC on September 21.

“I am now with my brother Dennis Idahosa in APC, so make sure you vote APC on September 21 to deliver Okpebholo as governor,” she said.
