Today, I had a meeting with members of my campaign council across the six local governments in Edo North Senatorial District. After x-raying and critically analyzing the events that ensued during the last primary election of our party, the All Progressives Congress, it became imperative to move on.

It’s a known fact that the party is supreme. We need to subject ourselves to the authority of the party. I hereby ask all my supporters across the board to work for our Party candidate Senator Monday Okpebholo. I hope that my party will do everything possible to win the forthcoming election to set Edo State on the path of prosperity and development.

Going forward, I urge all my supporters to join Senator Monday Okpebholo to make Edo work again. I hereby thank all my supporters for their trust in my capacity to enthrone the Venture of Hope agenda which, however, has had a setback. I will not take the sacrifices of my supporters for granted nor do anything that will truncate the political ambition of my followers. It’s time to move on. Edo of our dream is possible going forward. Thank you all.
