Edo ACN Set For Grand Rally

The Edo State branch of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), said on Tuesday that it was set to hold a grand rally in Benin tomorrow, Saturday, July 7.

This is contained in a statement signed and issued by Mr. Louis Odion, Commissioner for information and orientation and made available to The Tide Benin tomorrow, Saturday, July 7.

This is contained in a statement signed and issued by Mr. Louis Odion, Commissioner for information and orientation and made available to The Tide in Benin.

The statement also debunked the report of the purported alliance between Edo ACN and Edo CPC for the purposes of the July 14 election.

“It is only a figment of imagination. Neither has invitation been sent to the CPC leader nor is retired Major-General Muhammadu Buhari being expected at the rally.”

“Much as we are not averse to collaboration as true democrat, the truth is no such arrangement has been entered into here.

“it is our humble belief that the discerning Edo voters are appreciative of Oshiomhole’s sterling performance in the last forty- four months.

“And they are more than willing to not only to express themselves by voting for him resoundingly on July 14 but also defend their votes,” the statement said.
