According to Punch, As the Edo State governorship election draws near, Oyakhilome Bello, a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), has made a passionate appeal to voters in the state. He urged them to prioritize their conscience over financial gains, amidst the economic hardship ravaging the country.
Bello's appeal comes two months before the September 21 poll, in which three political heavyweights are vying for the top seat. He endorsed Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC candidate, as the best choice for the position, describing him as a "homeboy" with a proven track record. Okpebholo's running mate, Dennis Idahosa, was also praised for his potential to bring about positive change in the state.
The APC chieftain's statement highlighted the deplorable state of infrastructure in Edo State and expressed confidence in Okpebholo's ability to address these challenges. He emphasized the importance of responsible leadership and urged voters to make informed decisions at the polls. Bello's call to conscience is a reminder that the power to shape the future of Edo State lies in the hands of its citizens.
