The 3rd Force 4 SMO group has declared its intention to secure 300,000 votes to ensure the success of the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Sen. Monday Okpebholo, in the forthcoming Edo election.
Musa Braimoh, chairman of 3rd Force 4 SMO for Sen. Monday Okpebholo in Edo, made this announcement during the group’s inauguration on Friday in Auchi, Edo-North Senatorial District.
“I can tell you, I have done my calculation and with the strength that is driven by the group, we have already 300,000 members in the state.
“As a scientist in politics, given to what I read in school, I have done my calculation and I know this even to the numbers of coordinators I have across board in the 8,000 units across the state.
“I can tell you we will get that number and even surpass that number,” Braimoh said.
He said that coordinators play a vital role in guiding and organising various initiatives in party politics before, during and after the election.
The chairman called on the coordinators in the senatorial district to promote the APC candidate’s five-point agenda on education, agriculture/food security, job creation/youth empowerment, infrastructure and flyover.
Also, Hayat Asunogie, the Edo-North coordinator of the group, urged the coordinators at the local government and ward levels to ensure they canvassed votes for the candidate of APC, to win the election.
Earlier, the chairman, APC campaign council in Etsako West Local Government, Yakubu Musa, thanked the convener for the initiative.
Musa said that the inauguration of the group in the district would help the council to galvanise more votes for APC in the election.
He, however, called for synergy between the group and the party campaign council in the district.
“The inauguration of 3rd Force for Sen. Monday Okpebholo is already helping the campaign council in galvanising vote for APC.
“I can assure you that every member of this group will be carried along in the government of Sen. Monday Okpebholo,” Musa said.
