Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Emperor Jarret Tenebe, has paid a courtesy visit to prominent party chieftain Chief Dr. John Osamede Adun, reaffirming his respect for the veteran politician and calling for unity among party stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The visit highlighted the longstanding political relationship between Tenebe and Adun, whom the APC chairman regards as his political godfather and a key figure in his political journey.
During the meeting, Tenebe acknowledged Adun’s influence, experience and contributions to his political development and the growth of the APC in Edo State. He expressed appreciation for the guidance and support he had received from the party leader, describing him as a pillar of strength.
The visit also provided an opportunity for the APC chairman to emphasise the importance of maintaining cordial relationships among party leaders, particularly as political activities begin to intensify ahead of the next general elections.
Tenebe reiterated his commitment to fostering internal cohesion, strengthening cooperation among stakeholders and building a party structure in which loyalty, mutual respect and collective progress remain central priorities.
He stressed the importance of bringing party leaders together and ensuring that differences do not undermine the APC’s shared political objectives in Edo State.
In his response, Adun commended Governor Monday Okpebholo for what he described as the developmental efforts of his administration and pledged continued support for the governor.
The party chieftain also praised Tenebe’s humility, loyalty and commitment, urging APC leaders and stakeholders to remain united and work collectively for the party’s success.
The meeting comes as political parties and their leaders look towards the 2027 general elections, a period likely to place increased emphasis on internal organisation, grassroots mobilisation and relationships among influential party figures.
For the Edo APC, maintaining unity among its leadership will be important as it works to consolidate its political position and prepare for the challenges ahead.
While political alliances can shift with changing circumstances, the visit underscored the significance Tenebe attaches to mentorship, gratitude and longstanding political relationships.
The engagement also conveyed a message to party members that cooperation and mutual respect among leaders remain essential to building a cohesive political organisation ahead of 2027.
