As the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepares for the Edo State governorship primary election on February 17, 2024, four aspirants who were screened out by the committee led by Hon. Julius Ihonvbere have accepted the screening outcome.
The aspirants, including Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe, Prince Kassim Afegbua, Mrs. Victoria Amu, and Hon. Victor Otaigbe Eboigbe, expressed their acceptance of the decision in good faith. They emphasized that the party’s internal mechanisms are crucial, and no individual is greater than the party. The APC had established the committee to streamline the number of aspirants and ensure a smooth primary election process.
In his statement to supporters, Afolabi said, “It’s with all sense of gratitude that I inform you all that the journey we started together has come to a temporary end last night.
“This is so because my great party, the APC, has zoned the governorship out of Edo North. It is still victory for us, as in less than three weeks, we made so much incursion into the political space of Edo State.JAMB Result
