Ahead of the Edo governorship election, former governor of the state, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has assured President Bola Tinubu that the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is “united and good to go.”
Oshiomhole disclosed this to journalists yesterday after paying Sallah homage to Tinubu in Lagos.
Oshiomhole, who also represents Edo North in the Senate, expressed confidence in the chances of the APC winning the upcoming Edo State governorship election.
“We are due for elections. We are happy, and we are perfecting all the arrangements to ensure that this coming election we will win because our house is united; we sorted out all the issues arising from primaries 100 per cent.
“Our opponents have one crisis or the other; even the Labour Party has their crisis, so at least APC is not in any form of crisis.
“[b]We are all waiting for INEC on April 24 to get started. So, I briefed him on all of that. We are happy, and he is there for us as a father, but we are not going to sleep believing the father will do it for us because he is not going to come to Edo to vote,” [/b]Oshiomhole said.
The former APC national chairman also said the party will have to do the “voting” and “mobilisation” to capture the “campaign message that captures the imagination and Edo people can relate to.”
