After a painstaking and mutually beneficial reconciliation following the Edo APC Gubernatorial Primary Election, the three major contenders and the party leadership have reached a common ground.
Senator Monday Okpebholo is the flag bearer, Rep. Dennis Idahosa is the running mate, and Rep. Anamero Sunday Dekeri has agreed to work for the party and is committed to supporting President Tinubu and his team.
As the September 21, 2024, gubernatorial election in Edo State approaches, the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign has received a significant boost from Anamero Sunday Dekeri, the member representing Etsako Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. Dekeri, known for his strategic political influence and deep connection with grassroots supporters, is playing a pivotal role in revitalizing the APC’s efforts to secure victory in the upcoming election.
Reports suggest that Dekeri has mobilized an extensive array of political and financial resources, with the primary objective of ensuring a sweeping victory for the APC.
His involvement in the campaign is multifaceted, involving the activation of various support networks, including youths, women’s groups, and key political figures across Edo State. Dekeri’s ability to galvanize these groups is expected to create a formidable force in support of the APC candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo.
One of the core strategies that Dekeri is employing involves leveraging his strong grassroots support, built over years of consistent developmental work in various communities within his constituency. This includes initiatives that have significantly improved infrastructure, education, and healthcare services, thereby earning him widespread respect and loyalty among constituents.
In addition to his grassroots influence, Dekeri’s financial contributions are expected to be a game-changer in the election. Political analysts have noted that his substantial war chest could provide the APC with the necessary resources to effectively counter the opposition and sway undecided voters.
Political observers are unanimous in their assessment that Dekeri’s support is one of the most crucial factors that could tilt the election in favor of the APC. His ability to unite different factions within the party, coupled with his strategic approach to campaign mobilization, positions the APC for a potentially decisive victory in Edo State.
As the election date draws nearer, the impact of Dekeri’s involvement will likely become even more evident, with many anticipating that his efforts will be instrumental in shaping the outcome of the 2024 Edo gubernatorial race.
