AAC Is Alternative For Edo People, Says Guber Candidate, Oberaifo

African Action Congress (AAC), governorship candidate for the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, Dr Udoh Oberaifo has said his party is the only viable alternative to rescue the state from political, social and economics quagmire it has found itself.

After he unveiled his deputy, Lord Osunde, yesterday in Benin City, Oberaifo said the state had experienced the era of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), without tangible results.
Osunde was a pioneer Edo Obidient Movement leader in the state.
He said the poverty rate occasioned by bad economic policies, decayed infrastructure and insecurity in the state which the APC and PDP have not been able to address, was making Edo people want alternative.

Oberaifo said, “With the movement of our deputy governorship candidate, Lord Osunde, who before his defection to the party was a staunch member and leader of the Labour Party and Obidient Movement in the state to our party. It tells you that the people wants alternative to APC and PDP.

“As a matter of fact, Osunde was a pioneer member who organized the first two millions Obidient movement walk in the state and the structures across the three senatorial districts in the state and has found it important to join our party, ” he said.
On his agenda for the state, Oberaifo said “My government, if elected will stand for true leadership, a new perspective, vibrancy and innovation. With all these we will provide good leadership and governance to all Edo state residents and citizens.

“The first keyword of my agenda is humanity first, which is people first before politics, before power mongering, godfatherism, personal gains.
If you put people first in all you are doing, that means you will get it right.
