The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, said on Saturday that the party’s governorship candidate in Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, has a blueprint that would help the state.
Ganduje said Okpebholo’s blueprint would connect Edo State better to the federal government.
He said if the state was not connected to the centre, it would not experience full political participation and the dividends of democracy.
The APC National Chairman made this declaration during the inauguration of the party’s national campaign council for the 2024 governorship election in Edo, headed by Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River.
According to Ganduje: “A flag-off rally will soon be organised so that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will be in Benin City.
“We are so happy because our incoming governor and his deputy have already produced a blueprint for the development of Edo State.”
He added: “They are coming with a blueprint and practical steps so that Edo can fully develop and be connected to the centre.”
