Edo 2024: Akpata, LP take campaign to riverirne communities
Akpata, LP take campaign to riverine communities in mobilizing support for the September 21 governorship election in Edo State.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Olumide Akpata, led the LP campaign to the waters, traveling by boat to several communities in the riverine areas in the state.
Some of the communities visited include Gelegele, Inikorogha, Ofunama, and Ajakurama.
According to Akpata, @OlumideAkpata
“Yesterday, the Labour Party campaign charted new waters – literally. We travelled by boat to some of Edo State’s riverine communities: Gelegele, Inikorogha, Ofunama, and Ajakurama, where the warmth of the welcome was only matched by the vastness of the waters we crossed.
“To our brothers and sisters in these riverine communities: Your voices echo in our hearts. Your challenges fuel our mission. Your potential is the bedrock of Edo State’s future.
“In our quest to serve, no journey is too arduous, no road too challenging. Whether by land or water – if Edo people are there, we will find our way to you. This is the essence of our campaign, and that will be at the core of the government we will run.
“Under a Labour Party government, Edo State will leave no one behind; every voice will resonate, every face will be recognised, and every life will be valued. The needs of all Edo people – from the cities to the riverine communities – will be the compass guiding our policies.
“This visit to our riverine communities embodies our broader vision: an Edo State united in its diversity, where the tide of progress lifts all boats.
“In ONLY 4 days, your vote becomes the wind in our sails. Vote for the Labour Party to set the course towards an Edo State that truly works for everyone.”
