In the lead-up to the Edo State governorship election, Dr. Dennis Osahon Aikorogie, the candidate for the National Rescue Movement (NRM), has exited the race and aligned himself with the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aikorogie made the announcement at a rally held by the APC on Textile Mill Road in Benin City.<\/p>\n

Aikorogie explained his decision to join the APC, citing a commitment to advancing the state\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

He expressed support for APC\u2019s gubernatorial candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa, emphasizing their proven reliability and dedication to action over rhetoric.<\/p>\n

He highlighted Okpebholo’s longstanding engagement with the community and his track record before becoming a senator.<\/p>\n

He also indicated that more than 5,000 of his supporters would be joining the APC with him.<\/p>\n
