The frontline aspirant of the All Progressive Congress(APC), for the September governorship election in Edo State Dr. Ernest Umakhihe has appealed to the sons and daughters of the Orhionmwon (Abudu), Ikpoba Okha (Idogbo), Oredo (Benin) communities to nominate him to be the flag bearer of the APC at the forthcoming primaries.
Umakhihe disclosed this when he embarked on a campaign train visit to Orhionmwon (Abudu), Ikpoba Okha (Idogbo), Oredo (Benin) senatorial districts.
Dr Umakhihe said that, he joined the gubernatorial race because he had the capacity to transform the state.
In his address, he said: “My elders, my sisters, my brothers, and my friends, today I have come to meet you people to nominate me for the governor of this state.
So that I can go into primaries and win as a united front, I want you people to nominate me to bear the APC flags and contest in the governorship election.”
He, however, noted that some of the communities have oil wells, and he was ready to use the funds to develop the community alongside the government allocations.
Speaking on security, Umakhihe said that he is an expert in security strategy and has the blueprint for resolving the challenges.
“I know there is a security challenge here, and I have the blueprint to resolve it, and we will involve the traditional system in intelligence so that everybody can sleep with two eyes closed.”

PDP Chieftain Calls for Removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as DG of PDP Governors’ Forum

Benue State, Nigeria – Mr. Sam Obeya, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Benue State, has called for the immediate removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as the Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
This call comes on the heels of the aborted Congress in Benue State, which was marred by litigation and controversy. Mr. Obeya alleges that Dr. Agbo played a significant role in the botched Congress and demands his removal to ensure the party’s unity and progress.
“The actions of Dr. Agbo have caused irreparable damage to our party in Benue State,” Mr. Obeya stated. “His removal is necessary to prevent further divisions and ensure that our party remains strong and united.”
Mr. Obeya expressed concern that Dr. Agbo may become a tool to serve the personal interests of Governor Bala Mohammed, just like his predecessor, Hon. Cid Madugbuna, who was seen as a stooge of former Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State.
“The PDP cannot afford to have a Director General who serves only the interests of one governor,” Obeya said. “We need leadership that prioritizes the unity and progress of the party above personal interests.”
Obeya called on party leaders to take action to ensure that the PDP Governors’ Forum remains independent and serves the interests of the party as a whole, rather than being used to promote personal agendas.
