“It’s important we show respect to everyone who has contested today. We need the support of everyone to win next year,” he said.

The APC Ikpoba Okha Constituency candidate praised the conduct of the primary held at the Western Boys High School in the south of Benin City. The electional went smoothly in the state presently under APC’s control.
