The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reiterated that Monday Okpebholo remains its governorship candidate in the ongoing Edo State governorship election. This clarification was made in a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka in Abuja. Morka said the clarification became necessary following fake news that Okpebholo had been disqualified by a magistrate court, adding that the magistrate court that purportedly issued the fake ruling had issued a disclaimer, stating categorically that it did not emanate from it.

The Publicity Secretary further said that the fake ruling meant to sow seeds of doubt about the APC candidate was a blatant and calculated attempt to subvert the will of the Edo electorate. Morka said; “In the final hours of the Edo gubernatorial election scheduled to hold Saturday, September 21, 2024, certain political parties have desperately resorted to forgery and disinformation on our candidate. “The blackmail is to the extent of circulating a fake magistrate court ruling purportedly disqualifying Sen.



Okpebholo, the APC gubernatorial candidate in the election. “The circulated ruling is fake, a fabrication and an act of pure desperation in the face of their imminent defeat at the polls,”.
