Like it is often said in the local palace in politics that, “elections are not won on the election day but rather won and lost on or before the election day”. What this connotes is that there are more approaches to winning elections.
Truly there is more to winning elections especially when such election is literally based on the choices and interest of the people as it concerns the development of a particular region or people.
It is on this understanding that make political parties in their drive to win elections especially in a situation where the potential electorates are highly politically conscious, ensure they field a popular candidate as it is indeed one of the formulas for winning an election where the stakes are very high.
It is on this note we believe that the Edo Central Senatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) be given to an aspirant who is not just a mobilizer, but a grassroots mobilizer.
And this person is no other than the incumbent member representating Esan South-East/Esan North-East federal constituency in the House of Representative, Hon. Odi Okojie.
Even before Prince Odi Okojie threw his hat into partisan politics, he has long been at home with his Esan brothers and sisters, both at home and in the Diaspora; he’s familiar with the challenges confronting Esan land and its people. Odi Okojie and his amiable wife, Mrs. Mercy Johnson-Odi Okojie are always with Esan people in his Uromi country home, ministering to their needs as well as impacting the lives of those around them.
It was his experience engaging his people that prompted him to venture into politics so as to create a wider platform to reach out to more people at the community, Local Government Area, Constituency and Senatorial District.
This is why the majority of the grassroot people of Edo Central Senatorial District are already welcoming the senatorial ambition of Prince Odi Okojie to enable him replicate all he has been doing for the people of Esan South-East/Esan North-East federal constituency in the entire Esanland. Odi Okojie’s political strength lies in his organic grassroots following which is unparalleled and unprecedented in Edo Central Senatorial District.
This is why we are appealing to the Edo Central caucus of the APC to ensure that they field the man who is a grassroots mobilizer which will definitely transcend into Winning an election, as Prince Odi Okojie has continually enjoyed the goodwill of the people of Edo Central Senatorial District because they see him as someone they can access anytime any day.
Support, nominate and vote Hon. Prince Odi Okojie for Senate, Edo Central Senatorial District.
