He urged the campaign council to mobilize members at the local government and unit levels to campaign and vote.

A flag-off rally is planned, which President Bola Tinubu will attend, to kickstart the campaign.

APC candidate has a blueprint

Ganduje praised the APC governorship candidate, Sen. Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa, for having a blueprint for Edo State's development.

He emphasized the importance of connecting Edo State to the center for full political participation and the dividends of democracy, which are achievable by voting for the APC candidates.

Ganduje commended the Oba of Benin for maintaining peace and tranquillity in the state and assured that the incoming APC government would respect and appreciate the traditional council under the Oba of Benin.
