Senate President Godswill Akpabio has given assurances that Edo State’s All Progressives Congress, APC, will win the governorship election in Edo State in September 2024.
He gave the assurance in Calabar, Cross River State’s capital, when he addressed the APC South-South conference.
He charged APC members from Edo State to work harder to defeat the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the governorship poll.
“For those of you from Edo State and any part of the South-South region, the election that is coming up in September 2024, you all must head towards Edo, both in prayers and everything. We have to because we are going to defeat Obaseki,” he said.
Akpabio assured the APC governorship candidate for the Edo governorship election that he has no problems at all.
“Our brother, Senator Monty, you’re not just the hope of Edo; you’re the hope of the APC in the South-South zone. We will support you to succeed,” he said.
The Senate President avowed that the region will soon have a second governor, assuring Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State that he will no longer be alone.
He said: “Your Excellency, Governor Otu, your days of loneliness are over. Today, we have a governor in Cross River State who’s showing direction in terms of performance. It’s not about talk. It’s about what you are able to do. The people will only judge you by what you put on ground.”
