Uteh buzzed with excitement as the APC campaign caravan made its way to Benin City, igniting the atmosphere with fervor. The excitement peaked when Comrade Adams Oshiomhole took to the stage, delivering a passionate endorsement of Senator Monday Okpebholo. With unwavering conviction, Oshiomhole hailed Okpebholo as a champion of integrity, a true warrior for justice whose strength, commitment, and fearlessness set him apart. “Monday Okpebholo isn’t just a candidate; he’s a promise of victory,” Oshiomhole declared, emphasizing Okpebholo’s steadfast loyalty and dedication to his principles.
The crowd held its breath as Oshiomhole shared a heartfelt moment with the elderly women of Uteh, who had patiently awaited the campaign’s arrival. Acknowledging their unwavering support, he made a solemn vow: “When Monday Okpebholo becomes governor, I will personally walk these roads to ensure they are repaired to the highest standards.”
The focus then shifted to the man of the hour, Senator Monday Okpebholo, whom the people of Uteh have affectionately named their “rescuer.” In a bold statement, Okpebholo declared, “I don’t need to campaign,” directing attention to the dilapidated Uteh road as a glaring sign of the current administration’s neglect. “As we arrived, I heard the cries from every corner, ‘We want roads, not money!’ It broke my heart to see this road in such disrepair. What has the governor been doing for the past eight years?”
Okpebholo’s message resonated deeply: this election is not about personal gain but about responding to the urgent needs of the people. “I didn’t choose to run,” he revealed. “The people of Edo called upon me to step in and rescue them.” His words struck a chord with the crowd, who now view him as the leader capable of delivering the change they desperately seek.
As the APC campaign continues to gain momentum, one thing is clear: Uteh has made its voice heard, and the desire for change is palpable. With Okpebholo at the forefront, the people of Edo stand on the brink of a promising new era of prosperity and progress.
