President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, presented the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag to the party’s Edo State governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Hon. Dennis Idahosa.
The President presented the flag at a gathering of party stalwarts led by the National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, held at the Presidential Villa.
The President expressed optimism that the ruling party is on the path to victory in the September election in Edo, and pledge that he would stand with the candidates “like the wall of Gibraltar”.
“If you are happy; we are happy. If you are determined; we are determined. We are going to work with you. We are going to stand with you like the wall of Gibraltar. That is all I can assure you. The party is supreme, but victory is superior and very important”.
“Distinguished Senator and our flagbearer, we are putting you forward in order to hold the party in trust for us and achieve victory for us. You and your running mate have been described as giant killers, and you have worked tirelessly with the party leadership”.
