The dignitaries present were Peter Okafor, national vice chairman of PRP, South-East, and Godwin Akpanedem, national vice chairman, South-South.

The party’s national chairman, Bello Falolu, said the presence of national officers at the event underscored the party’s commitment to the Edo governorship race.

Mr Falolu, represented by Mr Akpanedem, called on party members and supporters to actively participate in the ongoing permanent voter card collection and the election.

He expressed confidence that the party’s candidate, Patience Ofure-Key, could lead the state to a new era of prosperity.

The event witnessed the official presentation of the PRP’s flag to Mrs Ofure-Key and her running mate, Abuomwande Ojo-Advice.

The PRP flag bearer, Ms Ofure-Key, thanked the national body for the opportunity to represent the party.

She promised to deliver her campaign promises, noting that Edo desperately needed redemption.

Ms Ofure-Key promised that the PRP-led government would usher in a new era of prosperity, improved healthcare, better education, and industrialisation in Edo.
