Edo LG Aspirants Jostle For ACN Tickets Ahead Of Primaries

Politicians seeking to contest the seats of chairmen and councillors in the forthcoming local government areas of Edo State under the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) have stepped up their campaigns to clinch their party’s tickets.
The Edo State Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) last week unveiled a timetable for the conduct of elections into the councils which led to heightened political activities at the grassroots.
At Egor local government area, the aspirants have embarked on campaigns to seek the endorsement of their party members at the primaries.
Comrade Victor Enobakhare, chairmanship aspirant under the umbrella of the ACN in the council yesterday pledged to attract development to the area if given the opportunity to serve, adding that what the council needs is an economic development summit to shore up its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
Another chairmanship hopeful in Ikpoba Okha local government area, Mr. Soni Ehiosu Idahagbon, also of the ACN, told newsmen that his endorsement by 68 community associations was a clear indication of his acceptability by the people.
He said if elected as the council’s chairman he would revamp the agricultural sector
