As Edo State inches closer to the 2024 gubernatorial elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) faces a critical decision in choosing its standard bearer. In this significant moment, the party needs a leader who not only understands the intricate fabric of Edo’s society but also possesses the ability to unite and lead with visionary zeal. This leader is Prince Clem Ikanade Agba.
Prince Agba stands out not just as a candidate but as a symbol of unity and progress. His unique background, with roots spread across the three senatorial districts of Edo State, gives him a rare and intimate understanding of our diverse communities. Born in Edo North, connected through marriage to Edo South, and having pursued educational endeavors in Edo Central, Agba embodies a living bridge connecting the various cultural and social spectra of our state.
His career trajectory further cements his role as a unifier. As a former commissioner in Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s administration and a minister of state for Budget and Planning, Agba demonstrated a remarkable ability to transcend regional and partisan lines to deliver tangible results. His tenure saw significant strides in infrastructure, education, and healthcare, benefiting people across all communities.
What truly sets Prince Agba apart is his TRUST agenda, focused on Transforming Rural and Urban Spaces Together. This agenda is not just a plan; it’s a commitment to fostering balanced development that uplifts every corner of Edo State. His approach is about inclusivity, ensuring that no community, whether urban or rural, feels left behind in our state’s journey towards prosperity.
Moreover, Prince Agba’s deep respect for our traditional institutions and cultural heritage is a testament to his understanding of Edo’s values. He has promised to work collaboratively with traditional rulers, respecting their autonomy and roles as custodians of our culture. This respect for tradition underpins his modern governance approach, creating a harmonious blend of progress and heritage.
In the political realm, Agba’s candidacy represents more than just a bid for governorship; it’s a call for unity within the APC. His track record of loyalty, dedication, and service to the party and the state has earned him widespread respect and support. His ability to engage with stakeholders across the spectrum and bring together diverse opinions and voices is precisely what the APC needs to present a united front in the upcoming elections.
His humble yet impactful approach to leadership echoes the words of American poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou: “I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Agba’s leadership makes people feel included, respected, and valued, which is essential in a state like Edo.
As the APC prepares for the primaries, it is crucial to rally behind a candidate who can not only win the election but also lead Edo State towards a brighter future. Prince Clem Ikanade Agba is that candidate. His vision, experience, and proven track record of effective leadership and bridge-building make him the ideal choice to fly the APC flag in the 2024 gubernatorial elections.
Let us unite behind Prince Clem Agba, a leader who embodies the spirit of Edo and the principles of the APC. His election as governor will not only represent a victory for the party but a significant step forward for Edo State in its quest for growth and sustainable development.
