The South-South Zonal Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Blessing Agbomhere, has joined the race for the party’s ticket for the governorship election in the state next year.
Agbomhere expressed his readiness to serve the people of Edo State in the capacity of governor.
The Edo state chapter of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, after their joint meeting on the 30th of November, appealed to Agbomhere to join the race for the governorship seat, citing his educational qualifications, political clout, and massive contribution to the growing fortunes of the APC in Edo state as reasons for their clarion call.
Responding through a statement that he signed, Agbomhere expressed his readiness to throw his hat in the ring while also stating that the coming governor of Edo State has a lot of work to do in correcting the ills perpetuated by the current administration in the state.
Agbomhere, while thanking the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Edo State Chapter, for their zeal and commitment in ensuring that Edo State “breathes a fresh air of good governance once again,” admitted that he has all it takes to mount the saddle of leadership at Osadebey House.
He said it was high time Edo State rejoined the APC leadership at the federal level, adding that the “opportunistic tendencies of the administration of Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shuaibu, who left the party for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are highly regrettable, insisting, however, that it is time to correct the abnormal.”
Agbomhere said that as a total party man, he is ready at all times, if given the opportunity to steer the ship of leadership, to prove that the APC remains the best option for the people of Edo State.
He promised to reconfigure the state back to the “prosperous path created by the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole administration, which he said has remained unmatched in the history of the state.”
