The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun Tuesday stated that his party cannot afford to lose the governorship election of the state slated for September 10.
The party chairman stated this at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja after issuing the Certificate of Return to the party’s governorship candidate, Godwin Obaseki.
According to him: “There is nothing to capture in Edo, we are just going to go ahead and win.
”We cannot afford to lose Edo State, that thought must never arise because it is significant; it is no longer local politics.
”By God’s grace we will win the election!”
In his speech, the candidate, who came with his running mate, Hon. Philip Shuiabu commended the Gov. Aminu Masari-led election committee. He said: ”The team was truly professional”, as he pledged to unite his 11 opponents at the primary. According to him, this move he has started, as he announced that 10 of the aspirants that participated in the primaries are already with him.
