Adams Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State, reacts to a gaffe made by APC governorship candidate Monday Okpebholo, who mistakenly promised to provide "insecurity" to Edo indigenes during a campaign speech.
During a recent campaign event, Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Edo State, made a notable gaffe by promising to provide Edo indigenes with "insecurity." This blunder quickly became a trending topic on social media.
The slip occurred while Okpebholo was addressing his supporters, and former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole, who was present alongside him, reacted by tapping Okpebholo in response to the awkward statement. This moment added to the attention surrounding Okpebholo's campaign, raising questions about the APC's messaging in the upcoming election.
Despite the slip, Okpebholo's campaign continues to push forward, focusing on various issues affecting the state. The APC hopes to regain power in Edo as the election approaches, but moments like these may complicate their efforts to connect with voters.
