As the Edo governorship election draws nearer, the Edo chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) recently visited the palace of HRH Moses Akpamuka Etsu, the Ogie Eppa of the Weppa Clan, to seek royal blessings.
The delegation, led by the APC governorship candidate, was warmly received by the traditional ruler and his council of chiefs. During the visit, the APC team expressed their gratitude for the warm welcome and emphasized the importance of the traditional institution in the political and cultural landscape of Edo State.
The Ogie Eppa of Weppa Clan, in his address, acknowledged the significance of the visit and stressed the need for a peaceful and transparent electoral process. He urged the APC candidate and his team to ensure that their campaign and activities are aligned with the values of the people of Edo State.
The traditional ruler also emphasized the importance of respecting the traditional institutions and working closely with the community leaders to address the challenges facing the state. He promised to offer his support and guidance to the APC candidate as the election approaches.
The visit was seen as a strategic move by the APC to garner support from the traditional rulers, who wield significant influence in the political and social spheres of Edo State. It is believed that the royal blessings and endorsement from the Ogie Eppa of Weppa Clan could potentially sway the votes of the people in the region.
