Edo State witnessed a remarkable display of political enthusiasm as an unprecedented crowd of electorates from the Edo South senatorial district stormed the campaign flagoff event for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Mega Campaign rally. This massive turnout is seen as a resounding endorsement of the APC’s gubernatorial flagbearer, Senator Monday Okpebholo, who is tipped to become Edo State’s next governor in the upcoming September 21, 2024 general election.
The sheer size of the crowd, which filled the venue to capacity and spilled out onto the streets, sent a clear message – the people of Edo South have overwhelmingly rejected the incumbent governor’s preferred successor, Asue Ighodalo, and are eagerly anticipating a new era of leadership under the banner of the APC.
Supporters from all walks of life, including market women, artisans, youth groups, clergymen and community leaders, converged to showcase their unwavering support for Senator Okpebholo’s gubernatorial ambition. The electrifying atmosphere was a testament to the widespread disillusionment with the current administration’s “unprecedented executive lawlessness and impunity” and the people’s yearning for a transformative change.
Senator Okpebholo, addressing the enthusiastic throng, pledged to harness Edo State’s full potential and restore the state’s lost glory. He vowed to usher in a new era of good governance, characterized by accountability, transparency, and a relentless pursuit of the people’s welfare.
The sheer scale of the crowd’s presence at the APC senatorial campaign flagoff event has sent a resounding message to the political landscape of Edo State. It is a clear indication that the people of Edo South have made their choice, and they are ready to support the APC’s vision for a prosperous and vibrant Edo State under the leadership of Senator Monday Okpebholo.
