The All Progressives Congress (APC) has picked Hon. Dennis Idahosa as its deputy governorship candidate in the September 21 Edo State Governorship election.
APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and National Secretary, Sen. Ajibola Bashiru will present Senator Monday Okpebholo, the party’s flag bearer and his running mate to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Villa.
Honourable Dennis Idahosa is to replace Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama who was announced by the governorship candidate last week as his running mate.
Idahosa, a member of the House of Representatives, emerged on Sunday night after a prolonged meeting by stakeholders from Edo, the party leadership and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Also in the meeting were the party’s flag bearer, Senator Monday Okpebholo, former Edo Governor, Senator Adams Oshiomole and Hon. Idahosa.
Idahosa lost the ticket to Okpebholo following the controversies that greeted the party’s shadow election of February 1 which was later concluded on February 21.
