In the dynamic landscape of Edo State politics, a new contender has emerged — Olumide Akpata, former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), carrying the banner of the Labour Party (LP). His entry into the gubernatorial race heralds a promising era of transformative leadership and inclusive governance.
A seasoned legal luminary renowned for his unwavering commitment to justice and equity, Akpata brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success to the forefront of public service. From championing legal reforms to advocating for social justice, his tenure at the helm of the NBA exemplified his dedication to upholding the rule of law and advancing the welfare of all Nigerians.
As Akpata embarks on this new chapter in his illustrious career, there is a palpable sense of anticipation and optimism among the people of Edo State. With his golden touch, he has the power to catalyze positive change and steer the state towards a brighter future.
At the core of Akpata’s candidacy lies a commitment to grassroots empowerment, economic prosperity, and social cohesion. His inclusive vision for governance transcends partisan politics, focusing instead on uniting diverse communities and harnessing their collective potential for progress.
Drawing upon his extensive legal expertise and managerial acumen, Akpata pledges to tackle the pressing issues facing Edo State with pragmatism and foresight. From infrastructure development to healthcare reform, education enhancement, and job creation initiatives, his comprehensive agenda is poised to address the multifaceted needs of the state’s populace.
But Akpata’s appeal extends beyond his policy proposals — it lies in his genuine connection with the people. Through grassroots engagement and community outreach, he seeks to listen, empathize, and collaborate with citizens from all walks of life, ensuring that their voices are heard and their concerns addressed.
In the annals of Edo State’s political history, few leaders possess the golden touch that Akpata embodies — the rare ability to turn vision into reality, adversity into opportunity, and challenges into triumphs. With Akpata at the helm, the future of Edo State shines brighter than ever before, heralding a new dawn in governance fueled by hope, determination, and the promise of a better tomorrow.

He said his administration would operate a structured system that promotes participation and representation of all segments of society in governance.
The pledge was conveyed by a former lawmaker and ex-Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, after he represented the candidate at an engagement with members of the Arewa community in Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area.
Oyintiloye said the plan is aimed at strengthening the link between government and grassroots communities, ensuring public policies reflect citizens’ real needs.
He added that all groups would be actively involved in both policy formulation and implementation to drive development in the state.
Oyebamiji also promised continued engagement with farmers, traders, artisans, and non-indigene communities as key stakeholders in governance.

Barely a year after its inauguration in Akwa Ibom State, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been plunged into a deep factional crisis.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Multiple factions are now locked in a struggle for control of the party, leaving members uncertain about the legitimate leadership structure.
One faction is led by John Akpanudodehe, a former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while another is headed by the embattled state chairman, Dick Duke.
Although the leader of a third faction could not be immediately confirmed, findings indicate that another group also exists within the party.
Sources further suggest that the Akpanudodehe-led faction is seeking to remove the current chairman through a recently held congress that has sparked controversy.
In response, Dick Duke convened a stakeholders’ meeting over the weekend, where he rejected the legitimacy of the said congress.
He said the party had formally written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to distance itself from the exercise, citing a subsisting court order.
According to him, his tenure as state chairman is still valid until May, and any congress conducted before then would be unlawful.
Duke added that the party would only proceed with proper congresses after the expiration of his tenure and the resolution of legal issues, in line with due process.
