Edo Guber Poll: APC Candidate Receives Boost to His Candidacy
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the September 21 gubernatorial election in Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, has received a boost to his bid to succeed Godwin Obaseki, the incumbent governor.
Okpebholo, who has come under fire for having contradictory credentials, was assured victory in northern part of the south-south state as he presses further with his campaign.
Abubakar Momoh, the minister for Niger Delta Development told the candidate that Edo people in Edo North Senatorial District would massively vote for Okpebholo. He said that the APC candidate would receive a block vote on the day of the governorship election.
Momoh, who spoke in Ekpon, Igueben Local Government area of the state on Sunday during the ward-to-ward campaign, expressed optimism over the chances of the APC candidate to win the election.
He said, “We are giving Okpebholo block vote in If Edo North just like Edo South promised. So Edo North and Edo South have agreed to vote for the APC candidate, why will Edo Central, who brought the candidate, not vote for him?
“We are sure of Okpebholo’s victory at the poll, and that is why we are supporting him with all we have,” he added.
