The governor thanked all the members who joined the APC from other parties and assured them that the party is a place of opportunities, as they will not be discriminated against but given a room to contribute to the development of the state.
“Thank you for the decision to join the APC and all of you that moved to our party. The winning party will not regret it. The party will stand with you as it is a place of unlimited opportunities.
“When I came into the APC, I never had the mind to contest for any position, but look at where I am today. I was pressured by people who love good things to contest as a senator and governor and I won both elections, and today, look at where the state is.
“Very soon, the opposition PDP will collapse in Edo State because of what the APC represents. My idea for Edo people is development. My focus is on development, and I will not be distracted from making life better for Edo people. I will utilise Edo resources, which are obtained from Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and Federation Allocation Accounts Committee (FAAC).
“The resources meant for Edo people will be used to develop the state and make life comfortable for the people,” he declared.
The governor alleged that former governor Godwin Obaseki cheated the people, claiming to be doing much
in the education sector, while there was actually nothing on the ground in Edo schools.
Earlier at the party secretariat, Asonsere was received by the chairman of the party, Jarret Tenebe, who noted that the defection of the lawmaker marked another watershed moment in the political history of Edo State.
