Prominent political leaders on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo-North have endorsed the immediate past Minister of State for Budget and National Panning, Prince Clem Ikanade Agba, as their choice aspirant that would be overwhelmingly supported to clinch the party’s ticket during the forthcoming governorship primary election.
The endorsement was announced on Saturday at a meeting convened in Jattu by a former Chairman of Etsako-West Local Government Council, Alasa Idaro Mohammed.
Mohammed said that the meeting was convened for Edo- North leaders to discuss and reach a broad consensus on who the zone should support in the party’s forthcoming governorship primary election and the subsequent governorship election in 2024.
He spoke about the necessity to support someone from Edo-North that would approximate both the zonal and state interest, pointing out that by virtue of his wealth of experience, Agba should be supported to win the party’s ticket and also to back him to become the next governor of the state.
Mohammed reviewed the past performances of Agba, including how he made Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the current Edo-North Senator proud, when he served as a state commissioner under his administration as Governor of Edo State, which further necessitated his (Agba’s) nomination as a minister in the immediate past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said that Agba had more than 76 verifiable capital projects that he facilitated to Edo State during his tenure as a minister, which would further enhance his electoral chances and urged the leaders to support him to become the next governor of Edo State.
