Traditional rulers in Edo North Senatorial District of Edo State have endorsed the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Godwin Obaseki, as their choice for the September 10 election in the state.
The traditional rulers, who made the endorsement at the palace of the Otaru of Auchi, yesterday, also made cash donation to the Obaseki campaign organisation and pledged to mobilise the people for his victory at the poll.

Speaking on behalf of the royal fathers, the Otaru of Auchi, Alhaji Haliru Momoh, Ikelebe 111, assured Governor Adams Oshiomhole that all the royal fathers were strongly behind Obaseki.
“This meeting is under the auspices of the Edo North traditional rulers. The reason for this is that our son has transformed Edo State in all aspects of human life. From Edo South to North and Central senatorial districts, there has been transformation of surpassing dimensions. The level at which the state has been transformed defines a man sent by God to give heritage to performance,” he said.
Responding, Governor Oshiomhole said with the endorsement, he was sure the subjects would take a cue and support Obaseki.

Iwas gathered that 23 royal fathers from different kingdoms and communities across Edo North were at the Otaru of Auchi’s palace to endorse the APC candidate.
