The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, relying on the outcome of a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja, earlier today, has called on the disqualified People’s Democratic Party(PDP) standard bearer for the forthcoming gubernatorial poll in the state, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, to team up with the APC candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, for the betterment of the state.
In a Press Statement signed by Comrade Orobosa Omo-Ojo, Director, Publicity Committee, APC Governorship Campaign Council, the opposition party said: “Earlier today, a Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice Ekwo, nullified Edo PDP Governorship Primary held on February 22nd, 2024, by Governor Godwin Obaseki’s faction of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“The news of the disqualification of Mr. Asue Ighodalo as the PDP candidate has been received by Edo people as relief from imposition of forgery and continuation of self serving governance in our state.
“APC as a progressive party, is calling on Mr. Ighodalo to join hands with Senator Monday Okpebholo to retake the state and reset it for prosperity.
“What is more important at this point is the interest of Edo people who are eagerly waiting for solutions that will ensure food security, accessible and affordable healthcare, and thriving economy.”
