ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Former member of the House of Representatives, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, has expressed gratitude to the people of Edo South Senatorial District following his victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary election.
Ogbeide-Ihama, who emerged winner of the APC Edo South Senatorial District primary held at Urokpota Hall in Edo State, defeated serving Senator Neda Imasuen and former governorship candidate Osagie Ize-Iyamu in what party members described as a free and fair contest.
In a personally signed appreciation letter issued on Tuesday, the former lawmaker described the victory recorded on May 28, 2026, as “deeply emotional and profoundly humbling.”
He attributed the success to the grace of God and thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he called inspiring leadership and commitment to democratic growth and party development.
Ogbeide-Ihama also commended Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo for his leadership and unifying spirit, noting that his administration continues to inspire confidence among the people of the state.
The APC senatorial candidate further appreciated the national and state leadership of the party, ward leaders, youth and women groups, stakeholders, and supporters across Edo South for their contributions to the success of his ambition.
Extending an olive branch to his fellow aspirants, Ogbeide-Ihama called for unity and reconciliation within the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, the intense competition that characterised the primary election should now give way to collective efforts aimed at advancing the growth and prosperity of Edo South Senatorial District.
“I hold both men in very high regard and firmly believe that the task ahead requires all of us working together as brothers and partners in progress,” he stated.
He assured residents of Edo South that brighter days lie ahead, promising purposeful representation, strategic influence, and meaningful development if elected in the forthcoming general elections.
“Wa Rhuese Kakabo,” he concluded.
