In a display of unity and strength, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is ramping up its efforts for the upcoming Edo State Gubernatorial Elections. The party's National Women Leader, Dr. Mrs. Mary Alile Idele, joined the state working committee (SWC), party chieftains, and faithfuls in welcoming the National Working Committee (NWC) to Edo State for the inauguration of the National Campaign Council.
A notable moment was captured as Philip Shuaibu, the deputy governor of Edo State and a current member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), was seen alongside Dr. Mrs. Mary Alile and other APC stakeholders ahead of the inauguration. Shuaibu recently won a court case reaffirming his position as deputy governor, following a contentious legal battle with the incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki over his impeachment by the state house of assembly, allegedly sponsored by Obaseki.
Shuaibu's presence with APC leaders signals a strategic move that could substantially bolster the party's chances in the election. Known for his political acumen and influence, Shuaibu’s alignment with the APC, even if informal, suggests a potential shift in the political dynamics of Edo State. His support could attract a significant voter base, enhancing the APC's campaign.
Dr. Mary Alile and other party leaders' involvement in the event underscores their commitment to a robust campaign strategy. Their presence aims to galvanize support and fortify the party's position as the election approaches. The APC is leveraging this opportunity to showcase a broad coalition and highlight their preparedness for a competitive electoral battle.
The inauguration of the National Campaign Council is a pivotal moment for the APC as they mobilize resources and strategize for the election. The event also reflects the party’s dedication to engaging with key stakeholders and addressing the concerns of the electorate. With the political landscape in Edo State becoming increasingly dynamic, the APC's efforts to consolidate support and present a unified front are critical as the election draws near.
