The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has cleared 12 candidates to compete for the party’s gubernatorial ticket.
The primary elections are scheduled for February 22. The candidates who have been successfully cleared by the screening committee include Prince Clem Agba, Senator Monday Okpebholo, Lucky Imasuen, Anamero Sunday Dekeri, Pastor Osagie Andrew Ize-Iyamu, and Engr. Gideon Ikhine. Other candidates who have been cleared are Colonel David Imuse (Rtd), Professor Oserheinmen Osunbor, Blessing Agbomhere, Danis Idahosa, and Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe. The candidates will receive their Certificate of Screening on February 10 at the party’s National Secretariat.
The candidate who emerges as the party’s flagbearer in the primary will compete for the governorship seat on September 21.
The clearance of these candidates means that they have passed the party’s screening process and have been deemed eligible to contest for the party’s ticket.
The APC in Edo State has a wide range of options to choose from, with candidates from different backgrounds and experience levels. This shows that there is a healthy competition within the party and a wide pool of talent to choose from.
It will be interesting to see how these candidates campaign and present their plans and policies to the party members and voters in the upcoming primary elections. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to represent the APC in the general election and challenge the incumbent governor.
