Senator Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and ex-governor of Edo State, has pledged to ensure the party’s success in the upcoming September 21 governorship election.
Representing Edo North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Oshiomhole made this commitment while inaugurating the party’s Campaign Council for the election.

Oshiomhole declared his readiness to take any necessary role, even as a “sweeper,” to secure Senator Monday Okpebholo’s election as governor.
“If it requires me to take the role of a sweeper, I am ready to sweep Senator Monday Okpebholo into office as governor,” he asserted.
He emphasized that every APC member and supporter is part of the campaign for genuine change under Okpebholo’s leadership.

“Titles do not matter,” Oshiomhole said.
“Every member is a canvasser; every member of our party must work hard to win their units, wards, local government, and state. Move from house to house because neighbor talks to neighbor and understands.”
Addressing the challenges faced by Edo residents, Oshiomhole urged all those affected by issues like flooding and inadequate school facilities to unite in support of the APC.
“There will be a change at Osadebe Avenue. APC will take over Edo democratically come September 21,” he affirmed.
Senator Matthew Urhoghide, Director General of the Campaign Council, called on party members to resolve their differences and work diligently for the party’s victory, stressing the importance of de-emphasizing the role of money in the campaign.
APC State Chairman Jarrett Tenebe reflected on the legacies of past governors like Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, Prof. Ambrose Alli, and Comrade Oshiomhole, who provided good governance.
He criticized Governor Godwin Obaseki for failing to continue the progress made by Oshiomhole, citing recurrent flooding in Benin as a significant issue.
Tenebe expressed confidence that the campaign council, under Senator Urhoghide’s leadership, would work tirelessly to ensure an APC victory.
