The winner of the Edo State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election, Senator Monday Okpebholo has declared that the journey to resetting Edo State with actionable development has begun.
Okpebholo disclosed this on Saturday in Abuja after receiving the Certificate of Return issued to him by the National Chairman of APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, in the presence of other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
He noted that the journey of meaningful development has no respect for tribal and ethnic inclinations nor religious calculations, saying It is about building Edo by Edo people.
He assured that he would immediately embark on visitation to political leaders and my co- contestants for unity of purpose.
He called on his co-contestants during the primary to join hands with him, put the contest behind and join him in the challenging task of making Edo State heart beat again with development across the broad spectrum of human endeavour.
The party’s flag bearer promised to leverage on the collective strength of all of all party members and the passion for a greater Edo.
Okpebholo stated: “With every sense of humility, I want to appreciate God Almighty and thank our dear President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for walking the talk and renewing the hope of Edo people by practically defending democracy today as he has always done all his life.
“Today the APC family in Edo State has made a bold statement by choosing Good over evil, development over inanities and love over hate.
“It has been clear to every discerning mind that Edo State has gone on the wrong path of development with the elitist style of governance with little regard to reality.
“The journey to resetting our dear State by strengthening her heartbeat with actionable development begins today by your reposing confidence in me as the flag bearer of our great party, the APC.
“We are all in it together and by God’s grace our great Party APC will return to Osadebe Avenue come November this year. With due reverence to God and great respect to humanity, I hereby accept my nomination as the flag bearer of our great party, the All Progressives Congress. To God be the glory.”
