Senator Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Edo State, has claimed that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its flagbearer are anxious about losing the September 21 election.<\/p>\n
Okpebholo made this statement in Etsako Central Local Government Area, where he accused the PDP of orchestrating attacks against the APC campaign.<\/p>\n
The APC candidate assured supporters that those responsible for the attacks in Ososo and Igarra will face consequences. He urged voters to remain undeterred and cast their ballots for the APC.<\/p>\n
Okpebholo reiterated his five-point agenda: health, insecurity, education, road construction, and agriculture. He praised the turnout in Agenebode, Okpilla, and Imiegba.<\/p>\n
The APC candidate aims to emulate former Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s legacy, ensuring accountability and transparency.<\/p>\n
At Ugbekpe Ekperi, Okpebholo assured voters of adequate security on election day, condemning the exchange of gunfire between his security team and suspected thugs.<\/p>\n
Former Governor Oshiomhole campaigned for Okpebholo in Udaba, urging voters to support the APC candidate, who he described as a “home breed” familiar with the people’s needs.<\/p>\n
Oshiomhole criticized the PDP’s candidate, saying Governor Obaseki and his team had failed the state.<\/p>\n
In Fugar, Oshiomhole assured voters that Okpebholo’s administration would prioritize accessibility and transparency, allowing easy access to Government House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
