This presents an interesting perspective on the dynamics of electoral politics within the state, shedding light on the key role that the Edo south senatorial district plays in determining the state’s leadership.
Moreover, Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has expressed appreciation for the leadership role of President Bola Tinubu and Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State in facilitating Ife Ehindero’s emergence as House of Representatives member-elect for Akoko North-East/North-West Federal Constituency. This acknowledgment serves to reaffirm the significance of influential party leaders and the impact they have on the electoral process.
Overall, the recent political developments within the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other parties underscore the intense and strategic maneuvering that takes place ahead of key electoral events.
