Even If I Have To Become A Sweeper, APC Must Take Over Edo State – Oshiomhole
Meanwhile, former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has promised to do everything legally possible to ensure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the September 21 governorship election in the state.
The former APC National Chairman said positions and titles should be put aside, and all party members must come together to ensure victory for the party and its candidate, Monday Okpebholo, in the forthcoming gubernatorial polls.
According to Oshiomhole, who is the incumbent lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, even if it requires him to become a sweeper, he doesn’t mind as long as it results in victory for the APC and its governorship candidate.
He made the remarks while inaugurating the party’s Campaign Council for the election.
