“In the 28-year reign of the PDP and APC, they failed to provide basic necessities like quality education, world-class infrastructure, accessible healthcare, food security, and effective security.
“Despite receiving a whopping N16 billion monthly allocation, they accumulated a staggering N600 billion debt. These parties have nothing to show for it.
“I will provide quality education that will equip our children for the future, world-class infrastructure that facilitates economic growth, accessible healthcare that caters to the well-being of all, food security that ensures no Edo person goes hungry
and effective security that guarantees safety and peace.
“The election is an avenue to take back our state from failed leaders. I urge all Edo people to join this revolution and vote Labour Party on September 21st, and together, we can build a better Edo State for all.”
