The Action Alliance (AA) governorship candidate for the September 21, 2024, Edo State election, Prince Tom Iseghohi-Okojie, and his running mate, Deaconess Mabel Onaiwu, have announced their decision to endorse the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo.
This move came as a result of their dissatisfaction with the performance of Governor Godwin Obaseki and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
