Ahead of the 2024 governorship poll in Edo State, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs Victoria Amu, has announced withdrawal from the race.
Amu, who commended the Senator Adams Oshiomole (Edo North) for excellent management of APC’s matters, said she would no longer purchase the party’s nomination forms.
According to her, she would abide by the APC’s decisions.
She noted that the party’s resolutions were larger than any individual’s ambitions.
Speaking during a meeting to Oshiomhole at the weekend, she said: “While I am passionate about the prospect of serving the good people of Edo State as their governor, I want to make it unequivocally clear that my ambition is not greater than the supremacy of our party.
” The APC’s collective goals and the well-being of the people of Edo State are of utmost importance to me. I am fully aligned with the party’s vision and principles.
“Party supremacy is a fundamental principle that guides our democratic process. I am fully committed to upholding this principle and contributing to the success of the APC in Edo State. Our collective strength lies in unity, and together, we will build a party that truly represents the aspirations of the people.
“As a loyal and committed member of the APC, I want to reassure everyone that I will abide by the decisions of our great party. The APC’s internal processes, including primaries and other party mechanisms, are essential for maintaining democracy and ensuring that our collective goals are achieved. I am fully aligned with the party’s values and will wholeheartedly support the candidate chosen by the APC.
“Party unity is paramount as we approach the 2024 elections. I am dedicated to working collaboratively with party members, leaders, and stakeholders to ensure a strong and united APC in Edo State. Together, we will continue to build a party that represents the aspirations of the people.”
While thanking Oshiomhole, she hailed his leadership qualities and assured him of her eagerness to actively contribute to the party’s success.
