Senator Monday Okpebholo acknowledged the presence of his colleagues, calling the gathering a sign of unity. He reiterated a pledge to secure 2.5 million votes for Tinubu in Edo State during the next general election.
He referenced ongoing road projects in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area as part of his rationale.
