PRESS STATEMENT

I, Onaghise Osaretin Daniel-Ero, All Progressives Congress (APC) Aspirant For Edo State House of Assembly, Oredo West Constituency, hereby formally announce my decision to step down from the ongoing race.

This decision follows extensive consultations and deference to the leadership of our great party. It was reached after thoughtful deliberations and sincere appeals from respected party leaders and stakeholders, who have consistently demonstrated commitment to the unity, stability, and strategic progress of the APC in Edo State.

I hold the leadership of our party in the highest regard and deeply appreciate their guidance, wisdom, and concern for our collective success.

My aspiration to serve the people of Oredo West Constituency has always been driven by a genuine desire to contribute to development and effective representation. However, at this critical moment, I recognize that party unity, cohesion, and shared direction are essential for electoral success and long-term progress.

Accordingly, I have chosen to place the interest of the party above personal ambition. I remain fully committed to supporting the APC and its candidates at all levels, ensuring that our party emerges stronger, more united, and better positioned to deliver on its promises to the people.

I sincerely thank my supporters, political associates, friends, and well-wishers for their encouragement, belief, and solidarity throughout this journey. I urge you all to remain steadfast and continue to support the ideas and leadership of our great party as we move forward together.

I also extend my heartfelt appreciation to the leadership of the APC for the opportunity to have been considered and for their continuous efforts to strengthen internal democracy and harmony within the party structure.

This is not an end, but a renewed commitment to service, loyalty, and dedication to the progress of our party and constituency.

Signed,
Onaghise Osaretin Daniel Ero

Happy New Month! Today is special as it marks not only the beginning of a new month but also International Workers’ Day.

To our mothers and fathers who rise early each day, working tirelessly to keep our society and government running smoothly happy Workers’ Day.
To the youth, the backbone of every nation, who dedicate long hours striving for a better future for our great country happy Workers’ Day.

I, ONAGHISE OSARETIN DANIEL-ERO, warmly wish everyone a joyful new month and a fulfilling Workers’ Day.

A hungry people cannot build a prosperous community, and a constituency that neglects agriculture is preparing itself for hardship. Oredo West has fertile minds, strong hands, and untapped opportunities, yet many leaders have ignored the power of agriculture as a tool for wealth, jobs, and food security.

For too long, our farmers have been neglected, our youths left unemployed, and our local economy weakened by poor planning and empty promises. We cannot continue like this.

Oredo West deserves leadership that understands that agriculture is not just about farming it is about survival, empowerment, and economic freedom. It is about turning our land into wealth, creating opportunities for our youths, supporting local farmers, and building a future where no family goes to bed hungry.

That is why I call on all sons and daughters of Oredo West to unite and stand with ONAGHISE OSARETIN DANIEL-ERO for the Edo State House of Assembly.

He represents fresh ideas, practical solutions, and a clear vision for agricultural growth, youth empowerment, food security, and sustainable development.

The time for empty promises is over. The time for productive leadership is now.

Let us sow the seed of progress and harvest the future we deserve.

Daniel for Better Oredo West.

EGOR/IKPOBA-OKHA EQUITY, JUSTICE & THE NEED FOR BALANCE

The recent publication is a clear attempt to mislead the public with half-truths and create unnecessary division within our constituency. Such narratives do not reflect the true political reality of Egor/Ikpoba-Okha.

For the records:

There has never been any formal zoning or gentleman agreement guiding who emerges as candidate.

The process has always been open, competitive, and determined by party members.

Both Egor and Ikpoba-Okha have actively participated and produced representatives over time through free and fair primaries.

What is important at this moment is balance, fairness, and political reality:

The current representation and recent candidacies have come from Egor, which naturally raises conversations around inclusiveness.

Ikpoba-Okha, as a major voting bloc with significant electoral strength, remains critical to victory in the constituency.

This is not about division, but about strategic thinking and electoral success. The focus should be on presenting a candidate with:

°Proven grassroots connection

°Wide acceptability across both LGAs

°Strong capacity to win the general election

Egor and Ikpoba-Okha are one people with shared political and cultural ties. Attempts to pitch one against the other must be rejected.

NO ZONING. NO IMPOSITION. JUST FAIRNESS, BALANCE, AND THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
