APC Energizes Ebhoyi Community with Promises of Development Ahead of Edo Gubernatorial Election The Ebhoyi community in Esan North East Local Government Area of Edo State was a flurry of activity as the All Progressives Congress (APC) continued its ward-to-ward campaign ahead of the upcoming gubernatorial election. 

The campaign, which saw key party figures engaging directly with the people, has sparked a wave of enthusiasm and hope among the residents. Prominent APC stalwarts, including Hon. Dennis Idahosa and the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, addressed the crowd, laying out their vision for the future of Edo State. Hon. Idahosa did not hold back in his critique of the current administration, led by Governor Godwin Obaseki.

 He questioned the governor’s economic strategy, particularly the increase in state debt without corresponding development or job creation. “This government will be for the youth and women,” Idahosa promised, highlighting the foreign investments that had been attracted to the state under the previous APC-led administration, such as the ceramic tiles and Chinese tea companies.

 Senator Monday Okpebholo, who is vying for the governorship, used the occasion to underscore his commitment to the state’s development.

 Citing his track record even before his time in the Senate, Okpebholo reassured the crowd that he has already initiated discussions with President Bola Tinubu regarding the reconstruction of the critical Benin-Auchi road.

   

Additionally, he pledged to employ 5,000 new teachers and to introduce a mass transportation system, which he believes will significantly improve the quality of life for Edo residents.

 The campaign event also featured former Governor Adams Oshiomhole, whose presence further energized the crowd. Oshiomhole, a key figure in Edo politics, emphasized the importance of electing a governor who can connect with the local people, specifically pointing out the need for a leader who is fluent in the Esan language. 

He criticized the current administration’s perceived detachment from the populace, accusing Governor Obaseki and his consultant, Asue Ighodalo, of being overly focused on paperwork rather than delivering tangible results.

   

 The APC’s visit to Ebhoyi has clearly resonated with the community, reigniting their hopes for a better future under a government that prioritizes development and inclusivity. 

As the gubernatorial election draws closer, the residents of Edo State are looking forward to a leadership that will fulfill its promises and drive real progress in the state.
