Edo Guber: Dennis Idahosa Emerges As Edo APC Candidate

Dennis Idahosa, a member of the House of Representatives, has emerged as the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) candidate for governor of Edo State.

Idahosa was proclaimed the APC flagbearer on Saturday in Benin City, following the party’s primary election, by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, the chair of the Edo State Governorship Primary Election Committee.

He claims that Idahosa received over 40,000 votes to defeat rival candidates and will represent the party in the September 2024 gubernatorial election.

Drama arose before to the announcement when the election committee had to relocate because suspected thugs interrupted the collation process

The suspected thugs had invaded the venue, and thrown away cameras belonging to journalists, leading to officials and the pressmen scampering for safety.

But Governor Uzodimma explained that there was a mixup about the collation venue. He said the candidate was announced in the right venue.

Some members of the APC in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State told Channels Television that the election was peaceful.
