New Benin Landlords’ Endorsement of Okpebholo Marks Major Boost for APC in Edo Guber Race

In a significant development for the Edo gubernatorial election, the landlords and landladies of New Benin have officially endorsed Senator Monday Okpebholo and his running mate, Hon. Dennis Idahosa. This endorsement is more than a routine show of support; it signals a major boost for the APC campaign, underscoring the growing confidence in the party’s ability to lead Edo State.

The event in New Benin was marked by a strong sense of unity and purpose, as community leaders, including Chief Action Speak, rallied behind the APC ticket. His invocation for victory, coupled with a fervent prayer for the protection of the Oba of Benin, highlighted the deep cultural and spiritual significance of this endorsement.

The presence of key APC figures, including campaign Director-General Senator Mathew Uroghide and party leader Senator Adams Oshiomhole, added weight to the occasion. Their brief but powerful speeches emphasized the importance of this support from New Benin’s property owners, positioning the endorsement as a decisive moment in the campaign.

For Senator Okpebholo and Hon. Idahosa, this backing from the landlords and landladies is a critical endorsement that propels their campaign forward, reinforcing their standing as the frontrunners in the race. As the election approaches, this significant boost could play a pivotal role in securing victory for the APC in Edo State.
