President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress, APC, would be victorious in the September 2024 gubernatorial election in Edo State.
The president made the disclosure during the presentation of the party’s flag to the Edo gubernatorial candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa, at the State House, in FCT, Abuja.
Speaking to an assembly of party staunch chaired by Abdullahi Ganduje, National Chairman of APC, the president assured that the party would stand all the way with the candidates.
We are going to work with you. We are going to stand with you like the wall of Gibraltar. That is all I can assure you. The party is supreme but victory is superior and very crucial.
Tinubu lauded the leadership of the party in Edo for their attempts toward the success of the candidates and the party. He specifically lauded Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of the state, for his faultless leadership.
“Eminent senator and our flag bearer, we are putting you forward to hold the party in trust for us and triumph for us. You and your running mate have been described as giant killers, and you have worked tirelessly with the party leadership,’’ he asserted.
President Tinubu, while inviting Betty Okoebor, the APC Edo Woman Leader, to speak on the party’s readiness for the election, reiterated that with the strong support of women, victory is assured.
He added, "If the women say we are going to be victorious, then we are good to go since they comprise the greatest number of voters and the most committed".
