Hon. Sunny Aguebor, popularly known as BIBI, has been affirmed as the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for the 2027 Edo South Senatorial election, dismissing claims by some individuals presenting themselves as candidates of the party.
In a statement dated July 28, Aguebor said the conclusion of the party’s ward, local government and state congresses had reaffirmed the strength of the NDC’s internal democratic process.
He stated that he emerged victorious in the party’s primary election and that the outcome had been consistently upheld by the NDC National Executive Committee, which recognised only the winner of the duly conducted primary as the party’s official candidate.
Aguebor added that he had received the party’s nomination form through the Edo State Chairman, Engr. Olukoga, confirming his candidacy for the 2027 Edo South Senatorial election.
He described as false and misleading the claims
by some individuals who continue to present themselves as NDC candidates for the Edo South Senatorial District.“There is only one duly nominated candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress for the Edo South Senatorial District,” Aguebor said, identifying himself as that candidate.
He called on party members, supporters and stakeholders to remain calm and focused, urging them to concentrate on preparations for the 2027 general election rather than internal distractions.
Aguebor disclosed that his campaign team would soon unveil its organisational structure, policy agenda and grassroots mobilisation plans across the seven local government areas that make up Edo South Senatorial District.
He also pledged to provide principled leadership, practical solutions and effective representation if elected.
The NDC candidate expressed appreciation to party members and supporters for their unwavering backing throughout the nomination process, expressing confidence that the party would move forward in unity ahead of the 2027 polls.
