“I therefore call on all Edo people to step out en masse on Saturday, 21st September 2024 and vote for the Labour Party and our candidate, Barr Olumide Akpata. A New Edo is Possible,” he said.
He also said, “Labour Party remains one indivisible entity, irrespective of the internal crisis now, which will be resolved soon. Together, we shall win and start to change the state for the good of the people. Vote Mama Papa Pikin on Saturday, 21st September 2024.”
