Edo APC Chieftain Mayaki Dumps Party Candidate

Former Director of Media for the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2020 Governorship Campaign Council in the state, Mr. John Mayaki yesterday vowed not to support his party’s governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, in the September polls.

Last week, a chieftain of the party and former vice chairman of the party, High Chief Francis Inegbeneki, dumped the party, citing irreconcilable differences.

Mayaki who indicated his resolve not to work for Okpebholo at a roundtable with the media, said his decision was anchored on the fact that the APC candidate lacks the vision and sagacity required of a leader.

According to him, the Edo governorship election should not be about party but about a man who will help develop the state. He added that a party that is currently factionalised and fragmented may not produce a competent flagbearer.
