The African Action Congress governorship candidate in the forthcoming Edo State governorship election, Udoh Oberaifo, said his party is a sure alternative to revamp Edo State from the political, social and economic quagmire.
Speaking shortly after he officially unveiled his deputy, Lord Osunde, Oberaifo said the era of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress brought limited development to the state.
He said “the PDP and the APC have not been able to tackle the high poverty rate caused by bad economic policies, decayed infrastructure and insecurity in the state, which has made the AAC a party that can bring succour to the people of Edo State.
“With the movement of our deputy governorship candidate, Lord Osunde, who before his defection to the party was a staunch member and leader of the Labour Party and Obidient Movement in the state to our party, it tells you that the people want an alternative to APC and PDP.”
He however affirmed that, if elected, “we will stand for true leadership, a new perspective, vibrancy and innovation.”
