Expressing his vision for Edo State’s future, Azemhe outlined his focus on addressing critical issues, particularly in the realm of food security, leveraging his extensive leadership and community engagement experience to bring about positive change.

“I will be bringing leadership and community engagement experience that will address critical issues, particularly in the area of food security to the party,” Azemhe affirmed.

His decision to join the NNPP underscores his dedication to the principles of good governance, transparency, and grassroots development, signaling a clear intent to contribute meaningfully to the socio-political landscape of the state.

With a pledge to usher in a new era of progress and prosperity for Edo State, Azemhe called upon the residents to unite under the banner of the NNPP, envisioning a future characterized by economic vitality and sustainable development.

Azemhe’s departure from the Labour Party stemmed from grievances over alleged mistreatment and attacks on himself and his supporters, particularly citing an incident involving Michael Onaivi, the Akoko-Edo Local Government chairman, during a state-wide tour to the local government.

In a letter dated January 27, 2024, addressed to the Ward 10 Chairman of the LP in Okpekpe, Etsako-East Local Government Area, Azemhe formally tendered his resignation, paving the way for his transition to the NNPP and setting the stage for a new chapter in his political journey.
