He said "APC demonstrated internal democracy during its primaries wherein, the elected young, vibrant, patriotic illustrious Esan sons through a democratic process that was free from thuggery and any form of rancor.

"These candidates are fresh breath that can be entrusted with public office for the benefit of Esan people, and with good political antecedents, unlike the PDP that is now a house of commotion, due to the inordinate quest of Senator Clifford Ordia and Arc. Mike Onolememe who occupied public office currently and in the past respectively, with legacies of decay infrastructure and poverty bequeathed on Esan people.

"I want to join the man, popularly called, Akpakomiza, Prince Odi and Hon Elvis to move Esan South East LGA and the entire Esanland forward. They are young and capable hands with patriotic spirit, I therefore call upon on every Esan sons and daughters to join us in this mission to birth a new Esanland," he said

The candidates of the APC led by Monday Okpebholo (aka) Akpakomiza while welcoming the new members said, "I'm happy to receive you all into our family. Your decision is a patriotic one and by the grace of God, together, we'll birth Esanland of our dreams."

Edo Matter

DR. TONY AZIEGBEMIN SHOULD THANK THE EDO STATE GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN MISLEADING THE PUBLIC It is truly disheartening to see the Edo State PDP Chairman, Dr. Tony Aziegbemin , attempt to mislead the public with baseless accusations against the Edo State Government under the leadership of Senator Monday Okpebholo .
