Edo Election: NLC Endorses APC Candidate, Godwin Obaseki

The Nigeria Labor Congress, NLC has tossed their weight behind the governorship applicant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr Godwin Obaseki, asking all specialists in the state to vote in favor of the gathering in Wednesday's governorship decision.

It would be reviewed that more than 10,000 individuals from different gatherings supposedly deserted to the APC in front of the gubernatorial race which is 24hrs away.

Friend Uche Obigwe who spoke to the President of the NLC at a rally, said work had chosen to embrace Obaseki because of the formative steps of the Governor Adams Oshiomhole-drove organization in the state, Vanguard reports.

According to him, “For those who are new in the labour movement, they will not understand but those who are old in the movement will know that Adams Oshiomhole has taken Edo State to a new level. When I was at the airport, I remember 8 years ago, if you want to come to Edo State for a meeting, the flight that comes to Abuja is about three times a week because nobody was coming to Benin.
“But today, two aircrafts land in Benin from Abuja every day. I remember when there were no hotels to lodge because nobody could invest in hotels in Edo State. Today Edo has so many hotels and people now come to Benin because somebody has transformed Benin. So we are backing Obaseki so that Edo will not go back to the dark ages. He has to continue from where Oshiomhole stopped” he stated.
