Chief Mike Oghiadomhe, a two-term former deputy governor of Edo State,
has emphasized the need for the people of Akoko Edo to reciprocate Governor Obaseki’s gestures by supporting the PDP.
The former deputy governor who also served as the Chief of Staff (CoS) to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, recently visited Igarra, the Akoko Edo local government headquarters, along with other notable Edo North PDP leaders to inaugurate the Akoko Edo chapter of the PDP Campaign Committee.
He is optimistic that the gesture will result in massive support for the PDP during the upcoming September governorship election, noting that voting for the PDP would demonstrate solidarity with the governor, who has made significant efforts to elevate the political status of Akoko Edo.
He also highlighted the damage caused by the APC-led federal government and urged the people to reject the party and its candidates in the upcoming election.
In his role as the Edo North PDP leader, Chief Oghiadomhe hopes for a positive outcome in the September governorship election to challenge the APC dominance in the district with Akoko Edo being one of the few bright spots.
