By Vincent Kalu

A group, under the aegis of Edo State Political Leaders Forum (EDPLF), has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Edo State governorship election, Monday Okpebholo, represents the collective dream of the people of the state.
The group in a statement issued by its spokesman, Dr. Kenneth Agweh, described Okpebholo as a man of ‘integrity and principle’, noting that many qualities, which included vision, courage, character, loyalty and sincerity separate him from the other candidates.
“He will chart the right course and provides a clear focus for where the people and the state want to be and how to get there; he remains the best for Edo State.
“We want a governor that can unite the people, provide security and good roads throughout the state. Okpebholo will not step on the toes of Edo people. He will fast track development in all the communities, embark on large housing development for low income earners, create the enabling environment for investors within and outside to invest in Edo State in order to create more job opportunities for the people,’’ the statement emphasised.
“We are building critical alliances with various communities. We are dialoguing with major players in the country. We are talking with opinion leaders, influencers in Edo State and Edo indigenes abroad. We are in touch with traditional rulers, market women, youth leaders and professionals. Okpebholo will win the September governorship election”, the statement further emphasised.
Political leaders from Etsako West, East and Central, Owan East and West and Akoko-Edo were present at the meeting.
