The defectors, including notable figures such as John Osi Akhigbe and Hon. Dr. Josie Ogedegbe, pledged their unwavering support for the APC and vowed to actively contribute to the party’s success in the forthcoming September 4, 2024 election.

These former chairmen, who had previously been associated with the APC before joining the PDP alongside Governor Godwin Obaseki in 2020, expressed their commitment to the APC’s agenda during a reception ceremony held at the residence of the party’s leader, Sen. Adams Oshiomhole.

Sen. Oshiomhole warmly received the defectors, emphasizing the inclusive nature of the APC and its capacity to accommodate diverse perspectives within its fold. He lauded their decision to return to the party fold, citing their past contributions to the party’s growth and governance in Edo State.

Addressing the gathering, Oshiomhole underscored the importance of unity and collaboration in achieving the APC’s electoral objectives, urging the returnees to actively participate in the party’s activities and support the gubernatorial candidacy of Sen. Monday Okpebholo and his running mate, Ry. Hon. Dennis Idahosa.

In response, the former chairmen expressed their gratitude for the warm reception and reaffirmed their commitment to advancing the APC’s agenda in Edo State. They highlighted their shared vision with Sen. Oshiomhole and pledged to work tirelessly towards the success of the party in the upcoming election.

The defection of these prominent political figures represents a significant boost for the APC’s electoral prospects in Edo State and underscores the fluid nature of Nigerian politics, where alliances and allegiances can rapidly shift in response to evolving political dynamics. As the countdown to the 2024 election continues, the defection of these ex-council chairmen is likely to shape the political landscape and influence the outcome of the gubernatorial contest.

DEATH FROM ABOVE: Principal Details Harrowing Ordeal Amid Heavy Military Air Strikes During 56-Day Kidnapping!.

Published

Mrs. Rachel Alamu, Principal of Esinle Community High School, has shared a harrowing account of her 56-day captivity after being kidnapped alongside teachers and pupils in Oriire Local Government Area. Speaking at a thanksgiving service at Antioch Baptist Church, Ogbomoso, she described the seventh week as the most terrifying period of the ordeal, as intensified military air strikes around the kidnappers’ hideout left the captives fearing they would be killed in the bombardment.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to Alamu, the military offensive became so severe that the captives momentarily feared the air strikes more than their abductors. This intense military activity also enraged the kidnappers, who had previously raised hopes among the hostages by claiming Governor Seyi Makinde had given assurances of their release before the end of the week.

Tensions peaked when a gang commander summoned Alamu, blaming the government’s actions for frustrating the group and threatening to kill a captive. In a desperate plea, Alamu begged the commander not to harm anyone else, reminding him of the two men from their group who had already been killed. The commander eventually calmed down and asked Alamu how the stalemate could be resolved, prompting her to urge him to make demands that the victims’ families could realistically meet.

The captives faced another terrifying moment when they heard sounds of digging at night, fearing the abductors were preparing graves. However, the situation shifted unexpectedly when the gang ordered them to move camp, threatening to kill the children if they cried out for food. Throughout the ordeal, Alamu’s concerns extended beyond her own safety to the health of her husband and the possibility of not finding him at home. She expressed profound gratitude to God for surviving the 56 days and reuniting with her family.

Furthermore, Governor Adeleke encouraged private and informal sector workers to collect their cards as well, emphasizing that possessing a voter’s card is an essential license to participate in the democratic process and exercise their civic power.
