Governors on the platform of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) were in Benin, Edo capital, on Saturday, to
launch the campaign for the September 19 governorship election in the state.
The governors at the event
include Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Gboyega Oyetola of
Osun, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, Abubakar Bello of Niger, and Rotimi
Akeredolu of Ondo.
Others were Nasir el-Rufai,
Kaduna governor, Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi, Muhammad Abubakar of Jigawa, Hope
Uzodinma of Imo and Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe state and the party’s
caretaker committee chairman.
Other party dignitaries at the
ceremony were Ovie Omo-Agege, deputy senate president; Rotimi Amaechi, minister
of transportation, and Edward Onoja, deputy governor of Kogi state.
Mala Buni, while unveiling Osagie
Ize-Iyamu as the party’s candidate, told supporters at the event that the
governors had come to reclaim the state for the APC.
“We are in Edo State to take back
our state,” Mala Buni said.
“Four years ago, we were here and
you voted for the APC and we know that you will do it again. We urge you not to
be violent because victory is ours and we are here to win.”
Adams Oshiomhole, former national
chairman of the party, said Ize-Iyamu will build a government that will impact
on the poor and lift them to a level of dignity.
