Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo on Wednesday urged Edo indigene living in Osun State to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), in the August, 15th governorship elections.
Speaking at an APC campaign rally at the party secretariat in Oshogbo, Okpebholo described Oyebamiji as the candidate capable of delivering infrastructure, improving education and driving sustainable economic development in the state.
The governor said Oyebamiji has the capacity to replicate the developmental agenda being pursued by the APC in Edo State.
Addressing party supporters, Okpebholo said the APC candidate would prioritise road construction and improve public infrastructure if elected.
“This is the man that stands for the development of this state. This is the man that will develop your schools. This man will construct your roads. He will give you roads with concrete pavement — roads that will last for 80 years and above,” he said.
Okpebholo said the election offers Osun residents an opportunity to choose progress and accelerate the state’s development.
The governor also urged voters to elect a leader who would effectively utilise resources provided to states by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The Director-General of the APC Campaign Council in Osun State welcomed the visiting governors and thanked them for their support for the party. He said the developmental achievements recorded in Edo and Kogi under APC administrations could be replicated in Osun if Oyebamiji is elected governor.
The rally was attended by APC leaders and supporters from Edo, Kogi, Ondo, and Osun states, who reaffirmed their commitment, securing victory for the party in the governorship election
