The All Progressives Congress (APC) has picked Hon. Dennis Idahosa as the running mate to Senator Monday Okpebholo, its governorship candidate for the September 21 Edo governorship election.
Idahosa had emerged candidate of the party in the first primary election of the party, but lost to Okpebholo in the rescheduled primary election.
At a meeting on Sunday night, Idahosa was unveiled in the presence of the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, Okpebholo himself, and several other party chieftains.
Ganduje, along with the party’s National Secretary, Sen. Ajibola Bashiru, is scheduled to present Okpebholo and Idahosa to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the villa today.
Idahosa is slated to take the place of Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who was named by the governorship candidate last week as his running mate.
