Edo State Deputy Governor, Dennis Idahosa has called on all members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to work together in unity to develop the state.
He made the call at a new year party organized for Edo South leaders of the party held at the New Festival Hall of the Government House, Benin City.

Idahosa, who appreciated members of the party for their unity, collaboration and support in ensuring the party won the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, urged them to be more united now than ever to enable Governor Monday Okpebholo develop the state.
He explained the absence of Gov. Okpebholo from the gathering as he was attending to other pressing state matters but sent his message of appreciation to all party members.
“The reason for this meeting is to bring all the political actors together in oneness and unity. God has been faithful to the APC in 2024 as the party unseated the then incumbent party in the state winning the governorship election.
“God answered our prayers and we all have to be united going forward in 2025” he said.
The deputy governor acknowledged some pockets of division in the party but called on all aggrieved members to come together in unity to support the Gov. Okpebholo-led administration to bring the dividends of democracy to Edo people.
“There are pockets of division across the state but it is high time we did away with the grievances and come together in unison to move the party and state forward. Edo South should take the lead in terms of uniting the party,” he urged.
