The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, said on Saturday night he would ensure the party reclaimed Edo State from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 19 governorship election in the state.

Oshiomhole, who stated this while addressing supporters at his Iyamho country home in Etsako West local government area of the state, promised to work with other members of the APC to reclaim the state.

The ex-governor added that his mission was to bring Edo State back to the path of sustainable development and entrench a government that would consolidate on his achievements, especially in the provision of basic infrastructure.

He said: “We want to return to the government of the people by the people and for the people.
