"Governor Monday Okpebholo has made a commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that Edo State will deliver 2.5 million votes in the 2027 presidential election, and we are working towards making that promise a reality," Usifoh declared.

The Special Adviser, stressed that grassroots engagement, remained a critical component of electoral success, noting that the party's ability to connect with the people, understand their concerns and communicate the policies and programmes of the government would be instrumental in securing their support.


"We all know that, elections are won at the grassroots. We understand this, and that is why we are strengthening our engagement and mobilisation structures across the state". 


"Our responsibility is to take the message of the government to the people, listen to them and encourage greater participation in the democratic process," he said.


OKPEBHOLO'S VISIT TO ESAN CENTRAL

Speaking on the forthcoming visit of Governor Okpebholo to Esan Central, Usifoh described the occasion as an important opportunity for the people to demonstrate their support for the governor and his administration.

He called on APC members, political leaders, traditional rulers, youths, women, community groups and other residents of the local government area to turn out in large numbers to give the governor a warm welcome.

According to him, the governor's visit would further strengthen the relationship between the state government and the people of Esan Central, while providing an opportunity for the people to identify with the administration's development agenda.

However, the state, has been witnessing questionable  pockets of criminalities in recent times.
