Edo Guber: Ex-Niger Delta Militants Endorse Okpebholo

Ahead of the governorship election in Edo State on September 21, 2024, former Niger Delta militants under the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) have endorsed the standard bearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Monday Okpebholo.

A statement signed by ‘Major General’ Johnmark Ezonebi, said it is imperative to make the critical decision.

He said the leaders of the dreaded Niger Delta militant group, RNDA, after their crucial meeting in one of the creeks about the candidates of the various political parties contesting the governorship election in Edo State, have resolved on who to adopt and support to win the contest.

Ezonebi said, “We want to let the people of Edo State know ahead of the election about who we have endorsed and will support to victory, and he is nobody else than the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Monday Okpebholo, so the people of the state would not fall into the hands of a party and their candidate that does not mean well for them.

“Senator Monday Okpebholo nicknamed ‘Akpakomiza’ is a man of impeccable character with a high sense of humour and passion for the lives of the Edo people. He is a Senator, who has been distinguished based on his track record and achievements, and specifically, what attracted and endeared him to us is his giant strides in infrastructural development and human capital building, and this is what we yearn for in the Niger Delta region.

“We will mobilise massively to ensure the people of Edo State vote en masse for Senator Okpebholo, and this victory will be a landslide victory because we have our structure across Edo State to the ward level.

We have set in motion our mechanisms to sensitize and get the full assurance of the people, and we will not leave any stone unturned as far as this election is concerned.”
