Okpebholo Promises Better Status For Edo, Flags Off Campaign In Homestead

The governorship seeker of the All Progressives Congress( APC) in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on Wednesday appealed to the people of Esanland, who make up the Edo Central Senatorial District, to support and bounce for him in the September 21st guardianship election, declaring that the APC has results to the people’s problems.

Okpebholo, who was accompanied by Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Osagie Ize- Iyamu, and other top party leaders, made the appeal during the Edo Central Senatorial APC flag– off crusade in Uromi, headquarters of Esan North East original government area.

Okpebholo said that he’s the stylish man for the job because of his vast experience as a civil legislator and assured that, when suggested governor, he’d change the narratives of governance for the betterment of the people.

The APC guardianship seeker lamented that the current debt profile of the state was over N573 billion from the inherited N43 billion.

He also contended that the high– position corruption in the Obaseki- led government was unknown.
Okpebholo called on the people of the state not to allow the sacking of public finances to continue with Obaseki’s third- term docket through his godson, Asue Ighodalo.

“ In Edo State, do you know the state’s debt profile at the moment is over N573 billion? That’s what Edo State is owing now.

“ During Adams Oshiomhole period, yearly allocation from the Federation Account was between N 3.1 billion and N 3.3 billion, but moment, the allocation is between N 11.1 billion, and the Edo State Government has nothing to show for it.’’

The APC guardianship hopeful, also prompted the electorate to use their endless Choosers Cards( PVCs) to discipline the PDP and its seeker, saying “ On September 21, 2024, it’s just about a month from now, we will discipline them with our votes. “ Okpebholo said.

Also speaking at the rally, former guardianship seeker of the party, Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu said the rally signals good effects to come and the end of the PDP in the state and the government of Obaseki.

According to him, the Obaseki administration, in which Asue Ighodalo was the profitable counsel, has plunged the state into debt.

According to him, Ambrose Alli University( AAU) Ekpoma is inadequately funded as against when Adams Oshiomhole was governor.

For his part, Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo State and senator representing Edo North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, said he believes in Monday Okpebholo as a good seeker who’ll hear to the people’s hankering.

Oshiomhole said he’s happy supporting Okpebholo because he has seen what he can do as a coworker and assemblyman.
