Ahead of the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, the Southsouth Zonal Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Blessing Agbomhere, has urged voters to elect the candidate of the party, Monday Okpebholo.
He spoke in Benin City at the launch of his book titled: ‘40 Leadership Qualities of Monday Okpebholo, A man of Grace.’
The APC chieftain urged the electorate not to be cowed by the propaganda being spread by opponents of Sen. Okpebholo.
He said such comments are not just a distraction from the issues, but are also orchestrated by persons who are afraid of the “towering personality, influence and standards of the APC candidate.”

According to him, Okpebholo possesses attributes that are lacking in leadership in today’s Nigeria such as integrity, honesty and calmness in the midst of crisis.
Agbomhere, who is also the executive secretary, Akpakomiza Support Group – the campaign structure of the Edo State governorship candidate, said the book, which showcases the hitherto unknown leadership qualities of Senator Okpebholo, will put to rest the prejudices and propaganda by mischief makers, who are challenging his emergence as the candidate of the APC.
