This historic declaration marks a turning point in the development of Edo State as the people will finally break free from the shackles of the failed leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress.”

“During the 28 years of rule by the PDP and APC, they have failed to provide basic necessities such as quality education, world-class infrastructure, accessible healthcare, food security and effective security.

“Despite receiving a whopping monthly allocation of N16 billion naira, they accumulated debts amounting to a whopping N600 billion naira. These parties have nothing to show for it.
