President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, presented the flag of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Monday Okpebholo, the party’s governorship candidate in Edo state.
The APC flag was presented to Okpebholo alongside Dennis
Idahosa, his running mate for the September 21 Edo governorship election.
The delegation to the presidential villa was led by
Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the APC.
Addressing the flagbearer, the president said the party is
ready to stand with Okpebholo like “the wall of Gilbraltar”.
“If you are happy; we are happy. If you are determined; we
are determined. We are going to work with you,” Tinubu said.
“We are going to stand with you like the wall of Gibraltar.
That is all I can assure you. The party is supreme, but victory is superior and
very important.”
Okpebholo, who is the senator representing Edo central, was
declared the winner of the Edo APC governorship rerun that was held on February
23.
The supplementary poll was fixed after a controversial
primary exercise where three aspirants claimed to have won the election.
