“We stand by our candidate and our manifesto of Farewell to Poverty and Insecurity,” he said.
Adebayo said given the economic situation in the country, no voter in Edo should vote for the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), saying “Any voter lamenting over poverty, insecurity, hunger, unemployment, inflation, hardship and injustice who still can spare a finger to thumbprint for @OfficialAPCNg or @OfficialPDPNig need to reexamine themselves.
