Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the Edo State governorship election, a former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole has said President Bola Tinubu is there for the party\u2019s candidate as a father.<\/p>\n

Oshiomhole said the APC is united and ready for the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State.<\/p>\n

The Edo North Senator spoke to journalists on Thursday after paying Sallah homage to Tinubu in Lagos.<\/p>\n

He expressed confidence in the chances of the APC winning the upcoming Edo State governorship election.<\/p>\n

According to Oshiomhole: \u201cWe are due for elections. We are happy, and we are perfecting all the arrangements to ensure that this coming election we will win because our house is united; we sorted out all the issues arising from primaries 100 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur opponents have one crisis or the other; even the Labour Party has their crisis, so at least APC is not in any form of crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all waiting for INEC on April 24 to get started. So, I briefed him on all of that. We are happy, and he is there for us as a father, but we are not going to sleep believing the father will do it for us because he is not going to come to Edo to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former APC national chairman also said the party will have to do the \u201cvoting\u201d and \u201cmobilisation\u201d to capture the \u201ccampaign message that captures the imagination and Edo people can relate to.\u201d<\/p>\n
