Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Edo State to intensify efforts to defeat Governor Godwin Obaseki’s chosen successor in the upcoming September 2024 gubernatorial election.
Speaking at the South-South APC conference in Calabar on Sunday, Akpabio said it was important to mobilise support through prayers and active participation to secure victory in Edo State.
“For those of you from Edo State and the entire South-South region, in the upcoming September 2024 election, we must all converge on Edo with prayers and every resource available because we are determined to defeat Obaseki,” Akpabio declared.
He expressed confidence in the APC governorship candidate for Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, assuring him of unwavering support.

“To our brother, Senator Okpebholo, you are not just the hope of Edo but also the hope of the APC in the South-South zone. We will stand with you and ensure your victory,” Akpabio said.
The Senate president predicted imminent victory for the APC, foreseeing the emergence of a second APC governor in the South-South region.
“Your Excellency, Governor Otu, your days of isolation are over. Today, we have a governor in Cross River State, who is demonstrating leadership through tangible achievements. It is not just about promises but tangible results that benefit the people,” he said.
