Eboigbe Announces Governorship Ambition

The much anticipated formal announcement of interest in the Edo 2024 Governorship position by frontline aspirant, Victor Otaigbe Eboigbe, VOE, has been made. 

Eboigbe, one of the aspirants flying the All Progressives Congress, APC, banner, made the announcement on Saturday, November 2, in ward 1, Ewohimi, Esan South East council area of the state. 

"We are gathered here today because I want to tell you, my people, that I have taken the decision to vie for the position of Governor of our dear state. There is no way I could ever make the final formal decision without first informing you. You have to be the first to know because Charity, the saying goes, begins at home. 

A serving Federal Commissioner with the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, Eboigbe recalled his political journey from the AC, through the ACN to the APC, and urged the people to rally round him now as they have always done over the years. 

He emphasized that the time has come for the people themselves to be fully involved in governance, adding that if given the nod, his focus will be centered on providing people-driven development across the three senatorial districts of the state. 

"...we cannot afford to merely hope and wish for development. We must "Think It" and "Make It Happen". We all need to work together to make development happen because there is so little any one of us can do alone, whereas there is so much all of us can do together. That is why "Think Edo" is my working philosophy." 

He thanked the people for their continuous support which, according to him, is the pivot on which his success stands. 

"I am glad we have walked roads together. I am happier today that we are still together, knowing full well that we have many more memorable journeys to go together. Your ever ready support made past journeys possible. With it I have contended with and conquered numerous challenges. With it, I will be able to conquer more, including this one. 

"With your support, I am certain that I will be able to make our dear state the envy of other states in the provision of people-oriented development. That is the reason I am stepping forward to take this challenge. That is the reason I am also putting it before you," he said
