Written By Oshiobugie John

With just 17 days until the highly anticipated Edo Gubernatorial election, Edolites are on the brink of making a pivotal decision that will shape the future of their state. This election is more than just a routine exercise of democratic rights; it represents a critical opportunity for every voter to cast their ballot for a candidate with the vision, competence, and determination to transform Edo State’s misfortunes into prosperity for all its residents. On election day, it is imperative that every eligible voter casts their vote for a candidate they believe in wholeheartedly, without allowing tribe, religion, tradition, or sentiment to influence their choice.

There are numerous compelling reasons why both decided and undecided voters must rally behind the leading gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, to bring an end to the stagnation perpetuated by the two main opposition parties. Akpata’s vision for a greater Edo is clearly articulated in his recently released manifesto, titled “My Pact with the People of Edo State.” This manifesto has not only reinforced his position as the frontrunner in the upcoming election but has also sparked widespread positive discourse among Nigerians, who see in him the potential to bring about meaningful change.

Beyond his impressive achievements in both the private and public sectors, which underscore his reputation as a hardworking and capable leader, Akpata has distinguished himself through his relentless engagement with the people of Edo State. He was the first candidate to complete a comprehensive tour of the entire state, a move that highlighted his commitment to understanding and addressing the diverse needs of all Edolites. His subsequent international tour to connect with Diaspora Edolites, followed by a renewed state tour campaign, further demonstrates his unwavering dedication to carrying the people of Edo across all walks of life along in every crucial decision he will make if elected.

In addition to his clear vision and tireless work ethic, Akpata’s commitment to tackling the critical issues facing Edo State, such as poor infrastructure, corruption, and inadequate education, makes him the candidate most capable of delivering the change that Edolites so desperately need. By uniting behind Akpata and casting their votes for him on September 21st, Edolites can take a decisive step towards a brighter, more prosperous future—one where every citizen, regardless of background, can thrive. This is the moment for Edolites to come together in unison and rally behind a candidate who truly has the best interests of the state at heart.
