The south-south zonal organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Blessing Agbomhere has appealed to the leadership of the party to reward his loyalty with the party’s ticket for the Edo state governorship election.
He made the appeal in a letter addressed to the national chairman of the APC, Umar Ganduje.
Agbomhere said his appeal to be given the party’s ticket for the election was not out of place, as it was in the habit of President Bola Tinubu to reward loyalty. He said he would apply Edo resources to the development of the state if elected governor.
Agbomhere said: “It is common knowledge that despite all the antics and betrayal by some politicians in Edo State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu won the presidential election in the state. Examining the three senatorial districts that make up Edo State, Bola Tinubu got 88,527 votes in Edo North (Afenmai), 38,392 votes in Edo South (Benin) and 17,558 votes in Edo Central (Esan).
“The people of Edo North, under the leadership of Senator Adams Oshiomhole, aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda and voted for Senator Bola Tinubu to emerge as president of Nigeria. Edo North gave the highest number of votes to Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win.
“As the South-South Organising Secretary, I worked hard to ensure we won. Thank God, Bola Ahmed Tinubu rewards commitment and loyalty to the party. By demonstrating loyalty to the party and commitment to Bola Tinubu’s victory, I, Blessing Agbomhere from Edo North, and the Highest Ranking Party Officer in the race deserve and merit the Governorship Ticket of the Party.
“Amongst other committed leaders and members of the Party, as the South-South Zonal Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, I worked committedly and dedicatedly, across all the Wards in the South-South, Edo and Edo North in particular to ensure victory for all the candidates of the All Progressives Congress, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Senator Godswill Akpabio and Governor Bassey Otu.”
