The Director-General of the APC campaign, Senator Mathew Uroghide, introduced the party’s gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates to supporters. He said, “We are here with our candidates, Senator Monday Okpebholo and your son, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, who you have voted for twice before because of the good things he has done. That is why we have nominated him as the candidate again. They will do more than what all of us have done in the past. They are humble and simple.”
Hon. Omosede Igbenedion expressed her support for the APC ticket, saying, “I have come to join the winning team and to support my brother, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, to become the Deputy Governor of Edo State. If we have a Deputy Governor, Ovia will be developed.”
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu said, “We are supporting Okpebholo because Oshiomhole did well as governor, and the buses he bought 16 years ago are still being used by Obaseki. We can’t be deceived anymore, so vote for Okpebholo and Idahosa to end Obaseki’s looting in Edo State.”
Adams Oshiomhole stated, “Edo State doesn’t need artificial intelligence to lead this state; we need organic, energetic, and natural intelligence in the person of Senator Monday Okpebholo. Our markets have suffered after the fire incidents, but Obaseki has been deceiving the people and refusing to rebuild the markets. Our schools have been neglected and lack teachers. Obaseki is wicked and heartless, and we from Edo North and South have resolved to support an original Esan man.”
The APC Deputy Governorship candidate, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, said, “If I become the next Deputy Governor of Edo State, Ovia will be the best in Edo. We can’t campaign here because we have done a lot of projects more than the PDP government.”
The APC Gubernatorial candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, promised, “Ovia will witness massive transformation, and we’ll return the land stolen by Governor Godwin Obaseki.”
