Edo North APC Leaders Endorse Agba for 2024 Guber

Prominent political leaders in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo North,have endorsed a former Minister of State for Budget and National Panning, Clem Ikanade Agba, as their choice aspirant that would be supported to clinch the party’s ticket for governorship primary election.

The endorsement was announced on Saturday at a meeting convened in Jattu by a former Chairman of Etsako West Local Council, Alasa Idaro Mohammed.
Mohammed said the meeting was convened for Edo North leaders to discuss and reach a broad consensus on who the zone should support in the party’s forthcoming governorship primary election and the subsequent governorship election in 2024.

He spoke about the necessity to support someone from Edo North that would approximate both the zonal and state interest, pointing out that by virtue of  his wealth of experience, Agba should be supported to win the party’s ticket and to become the next governor of the state.

A former Chairman of Etsako Central Local Government Council, Comrade Suleiman Bagudu, also said Agba was eminently qualified to occupy the position of Edo State governor, adding that all hands must be on deck to work assiduously for his victory.

Bagudu informed the meeting that the governorship ticket of the party was not exclusively ceded to any particular zone, even as he maintained that the race for the governorship ticket would be thrown open to all the Senatorial Districts in the state.
A former Chairman of Owan East Local Government Council, Hon Sufianu Igafe, said Agba’s qualifications and achievements had necessarily made him the next governor of Edo State and advised everyone to see and key into the project and engage in the process that would eventually see him through.

A prominent woman politician, Chief Mrs Edith Ayeni, aka Mama Africa, from Owan West Local Government Area, said that Agba had the capacity and experience to be the governor of Edo State.

A chieftain of the APC, Alhaji Kelly Oshiomhole, noted that politics was a game of number, played by the people, explaining that, “It is not a personal venture because no one can singlehanded make it through.”
Other leaders who spoke at the well-attended meeting included the former Secretary, Etsako West Local Government Council, Hon Zibiri Mohammed, Chief Mrs Waziri Oshiomah, Prince Alan Funzi and Chief Mrs Florence Anagaba.
