Timi Sylva Vows to Help The APC Reclaim the Edo Governor Seat

Timipre Sylva the Minister of Petroleum Resources, has vowed to help the All Progressives Congress, APC, to reclaim the Edo State governorship seat.

This comes after the current governor, Godwin Obaseki defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He made this known while speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Contract and Mobilisation Committee of the APC National Campaign Council for the Edo State Governorship Election in Abuja.

Sylva said;

“Edo State is a must-win for APC. All of us in the South-South believes that this election must be won. Edo state is our only APC state in the South-South.

A few months ago, as you are all aware, they took Bayelsa State from us through the back door after we won the election and now through the back door again, they have taken Edo state but luckily we have the opportunity of reclaiming Edo state in a few weeks from now and every south APC member is of the consensus that we must reclaim Edo.

Edo State is our stronghold in the region and therefore we are all geared up, we will all go to Edo state. We want to assure you that you should not entertain any doubt that Edo state will be an APC state very soon come to the election in September.”
