A frontline aspirant in the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, Dr Blessing Agbomhere, has urged the leadership of the party to reward his loyalty with the party’s ticket.
In a letter addressed to the national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, Agbomhere said he should be rewarded with the ticket for this year’s Edo gubernatorial election.
Agbomhere who is the current South-South zonal organising secretary said it is in the habit of President Bola Tinubu to reward loyalty and dedication to the party adding that his request to be given the party’s ticket is not out of place.
“I am Blessing Agbomhere, a committed, dedicated, passionate and loyal member of the All Progressives Congress, from polling unit 6, ward 1, Unone Village, Fugar, Etsako Central local government area of Edo North in Edo State and the current APC South-South organising secretary.
“I have been in the practice of Journalism, Public Relations, Edutainment and developmental politics for the past 24 years, out of my 44 years of living for Nigeria; and a profession whose earnings and influence I have used to support many communities, individuals, my party and leaders in nation building and governance for the common good of the Nigerian people.
“At the peak of my career as a media and security consultant, and with my personal resources, I have supported young people and women with grants for skills’ acquisition, scholarship and entrepreneurship. To mention a few things from the many community services I have rendered; I have done constantly for years, hospital visitations, providing food for the sick and paying medical bills.
“I have done free medical outreach in Edo North communities of Okpella, Auchi, Jattu, Aviele, Agenebode and Fugar, and many other communities.
I donated a 44-bed hostel to Itseoghena Orphanage in Jattu Community when I discovered in 2017 that the facility accommodating the children was too small for their comfort.
“I donated a 16-seater Toyota Hiace Bus to the Avhianwu Traditional Council in Etsako Central local government area of Edo State to ensure that they function effectively in discharging their cultural obligations. I have bulldozed and graded the Ughiogwa Farm Road in Fugar to enable farmers and traders unhindered access to their means of livelihood. I have provided free writing materials to students in various communities of Edo,” he said.
