Story By, Elvis Omoregie Benin

As the race for Political relevance gradually sweeps across the country and Edo State in particular, a Front-runner Rights Activist and a Civil Society member in Edo State, Maxist kola Edokpayi, has charged the people of Oredo West Constituency in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo state to look beyond the era of lamenting their lamentations of bad governance on daily basis on the streets without taking action.

He urged them to join him to change the wrong narratives that has taken the people backward in many years come 2019 general elections.

He made the charge at the secretariat of Africa Democratic Congress (ADC), in Benin City the Edo State capital, when he led his teeming supporters to pick his Expression of interest/ Nomination Form to contest for the House of Assembly seat representing the people of Oredo West Constituency in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo state.

Comrade Maxist Edokpayi, popularly known as the TALAKAWA’S leader by the people of Edo State was received by the leaders of the party across Wards.

Addressing the gathering, he lamented how successive representation across political divides have ditched development for privates gains.

Edokpayi expressed confidence in his background of long time activism to attract and move motions that will emancipate, develop and liberate the people from the iron grip of inhumanity of man to man.

He said, “We cannot continue to be lamenting our lamentations on daily basis on the streets as non state actors for the voice of justice in the society putting into perspective our agitations against bad governance for donkey years. That is why I told my people we must peregrinate to the parliament to change the negative narrative; imagine a situation where Edo State House of Assembly members voted against their independence and autonomy simply because of their selfish interest”.

“When we are there a situation like that will not happen we must move motions that we uplift the life of the people. We want to use legislation to champion activism for the common people in the streets and the last man on the street can shout uhuru at last.

He however, enjoined members of the party to continue to embrace peace and sort for those who truly represents the interest of the people and party.

Responding, the Party State Chairman, Jonathan Aifuobhokhan, commended comrade Maxist kola Edokpayi for his sagacious and long fight for the people of Edo State, and sue for the support of all across the nook and cranny of Oredo West for the aspiration to come to reality.

Renewed Hope Ambassadors Shift to Grassroots Mobilisation Ahead of 2027

*Renewed Hope Ambassadors Step Into the Next Phase

 

Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.

Chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) the Director General and National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside Deputy Director-General, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, and Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary, the session reinforced one clear direction: One Party. One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.

Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.

From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.

This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima for the formal defection and reception of Governor Dauda Lawal into the ruling party, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

 

State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, disclosed this during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau, the state capital. He noted that the Vice President would be joined by the party’s national leadership to mark what he described as a landmark political realignment in the state.

 

Maikatako expressed the party’s excitement over Governor Lawal’s return, recalling that Zamfara had historically been an APC stronghold and that the Governor was previously a bona fide member of the party before his earlier exit.

 

“We all know that Zamfara has long been one of the APC’s stronghold states, where the defected Governor was once a bona fide member. Now that he has decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he left for obvious reasons,” Maikatako stated.

 

The Chairman called on all party faithful across the 147 wards in the state’s 14 local government areas to turn out en masse to honour the Vice President’s visit. He emphasized that the event was strategically positioned to bolster the party’s popularity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

In a strong appeal for unity, Maikatako urged members to set aside all factional tendencies, stressing that the APC remained one political family with shared goals, particularly the ambition to make Zamfara and Nigeria great again.

 

Echoing similar sentiments, a former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, appealed to members to cascade the message to their wards and local government areas. He reinforced the need for cohesion, noting that the party’s collective strength would be critical to achieving success in future elections.
