…harps on peace, unity
An All Progressive Congress governorship aspirant for Edo State in 2024, Prince Kassim Afegbua, has said that the state will regain its pride of place if elected the governor.
Afegbua spoke when he embarked on consultation tour of the 18 local government areas of the state at weekend, saying that he had designed a road map towards achieving peace and unity of the state.
A statement on Sunday by the Afegbua Media Office, Edo 2024, said the governorship hopeful promised to consolidate on peace and unity in the state before launching aggressive industrialization of the state.
Afegbua also disclosed that his campaign is anchored on the theme, “LET’S UNITE EDO” to change the narrative of the present state of in-fighting between and among the leadership, a situation that has been impeding development.
According to him, “I am aspiring to govern Edo State to relaunch the state on the path of growth and development. Edo State is presently in the news for the wrong reasons. Internal squabbles between and amongst the leadership is unhealthy for development.
“In such atmosphere of political instability, development cannot flourish. That is not who we are. We are a people driven by vision and clear objectives to occupy our place in the assembly of states. It is not for nothing that we earned the sobriquet heartbeat of the nation”.
The APC governorship aspirant added that Education, Health , Agriculture, sports, human capital development, culture and tourism will be given a boost if given the mandate.
Afegbua stressed, “I am coming to re-ignite that passion for collectivism in critical sectors of the state’s economy.
“I will bond with my people and an article of faith that will be sacrosanct will be enshrined.”
