Former Director-General of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors’ Forum, Mr Osaro Onaiwu yesterday picked the ticket of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, for Edo state governorship election.
He polled 372 votes to emerge the candidate of the party ahead the September 10 governorship election.
Disclosing that he will kick off his campaigns next week, Onaiwu told journalists that “I am willing to serve my people and we have come up with our four pillars, which is security, trade and Commerce, agriculture and industrialization. Once we are able to achieve those four then we are home and dry.
“Dangote has come to Edo state to invest because Edo is peaceful, we will improve on what the incumbent governor has done so that we will accelerate development to our people”.
When asked why he dumped the PDP before its primaries, Onaiwu disclosed that “the party leaders were not serious. They lie every day of their lives. For me I have taken my vision to another party that I believe where they will celebrate my vision not a fraudulent party. I have moved on, I have no scandal but we know that one of the PDP candidates have been visiting the EFCC.
“APGA will take over the state, it is a new dawn, I don’t have a god father, God is my god father. If you look at the candidates of the two other political parties they have a god father but God is my god father. I will lead my people where there is milk and honey,” he stated.
