Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC governorship candidate in Edo State, has pledged to provide interest-free loans to traders if elected in the upcoming September 21 election. Speaking to traders at the New Building Materials Sellers Association on Cook Road, Benin City, Okpebholo emphasized the importance of traders to the economy and promised to fulfill his commitment as soon as he becomes governor.
