Gov Okpebholo elected by Edo people, not selected— APC tells PDP
The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State has insisted that Governor Monday Okpebholo was duly elected by the majority of the people of the state and not selected as alleged.
Prince Kassim Afegbua, a member of the party’s transition committee and the Assets Verification Committee made the remarks while responding to the labelling of the State Governor as “Governor-Select by the Peoples Democratic Party.
DAILY POST recalls that on November 26, 2024, the Peoples Democratic Party at a press briefing titled, “The State of the Nation Address”, read by the caretaker committee chairman of the party in the state, Dr Anthony Aziegbemi addressed Governor Monday Okpebholo as “Governor-select” and not elected.
At the press briefing, Aziegbemi said, “It is most unfortunate and disappointing that in just 14 days in office, the governor-select, Monday Okpebholo, through his actions and inactions, have succeeded in setting a dangerous tone for crisis and breach of public peace, and we are worried that this troubling precedent may just be an ignition for a conflagration that may well be avoided
