The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) officially flagged off its campaign for the September 21 governorship election in Edo on Tuesday.
Greg Igbinomwanhia, the state chairman, urged the residents to rally support for the party, emphasising PRP’s mission to bring good governance to the state.
The dignitaries present were Peter Okafor, national vice chairman of PRP, South-East, and Godwin Akpanedem, national vice chairman, South-South.
The party’s national chairman, Bello Falolu, said the presence of national officers at the event underscored the party’s commitment to the Edo governorship race.
Mr Falolu, represented by Mr Akpanedem, called on party members and supporters to actively participate in the ongoing permanent voter card collection and the election.
He expressed confidence that the party’s candidate, Patience Ofure-Key, could lead the state to a new era of prosperity.
The event witnessed the official presentation of the PRP’s flag to Mrs Ofure-Key and her running mate, Abuomwande Ojo-Advice.
The PRP flag bearer, Ms Ofure-Key, thanked the national body for the opportunity to represent the party.
She stated that with the campaign officially flagged off, the PRP was poised to challenge the status quo and deliver transformative leadership to Edo State.
The candidate outlined her three-point agenda of integrated human capital development, economic diversification beyond oil and gas, and comprehensive infrastructure development.
She promised to deliver her campaign promises, noting that Edo desperately needed redemption.
Ms Ofure-Key promised that the PRP-led government would usher in a new era of prosperity, improved healthcare, better education, and industrialisation in Edo.
