COALITION OF EDO YOUTH GROUPS
*Press Statement*
13th May, 2026
**
For the avoidance of doubt, we, the undersigned leaders of independent groups, conscientiously came together for a common cause. We sacrificed our time, resources, and energy for the emergence of Senator Monday Okpebholo before and during the 2024 governorship elections.
Among the very few leaders who encouraged and stood with us was Hon. Osaro Obazee. That is why we are here today to publicly declare our support for his ambition.
Hon. Osaro Obazee deserves the APC ticket for Oredo Federal House of Representatives.
He is a loyal foundation member of the party and a true son of the red soil who consistently promotes our rich culture, traditions, and heritage. Oredo needs a representative who understands our identity and will defend it in Abuja. Osaro Obazee is that man.
His support for the emergence of Governor Monday Okpebholo will remain in the hearts of Edo people. He is a mobilizer, a progressive, and a bridge builder.
Denying him the ticket is denying Oredo its identity and loyalty.
As former Oredo Council Chairman, Hon. Osaro Obazee constructed several roads and schools, renovated health centers, empowered youths and his community, and improved staff welfare.
A man who has consistently impacted the lives of his people deserves more than support — he deserves the ticket for Oredo Federal House of Representatives.
