Okpebholo Stands Out As Edo Central Cuts Choices To Three In Edo Governorship Race

The competition for Dennis Osadebe avenue is intensifying as Edo Central leaders have taken a decisive step that will influence the upcoming governorship elections. In this latest development, the leadership of the APC and stakeholders in the Edo Central Senatorial district have narrowed down their pool of aspirants from six to three. Interestingly, Senator Monday Okpebholo, known for his unstoppable drive, has once again secured a spot on the top list.

Following a strategic gathering held at the Elora Event Center in Benin City on Sunday, November 26th, 2023, the APC leadership in the Edo Central Senatorial District, led by the capable Major General Cecil Esekhaigbe Rtd, PhD, made a resolute and bold decision.

Here is the list of the three candidates shortlisted: Senator Monday Okpebholo (also known as Akpakomiza), Rt. Hon. Festus Odianose Ebea, and Col (Dr) David Imuse, Rtd.

It appears that these leaders are keen on avoiding risks, given the strong calls for justice and fairness in allocating power to Edo Central. Well, in local parlance “we go say Jungle don Mature” , especially with Akpakomiza’s seemingly unstoppable momentum.
