Young governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Blessing Agbomhere, 37, has vowed never to fall on his knees to beg any godfather for the party’s ticket.
Agbomhere, stated that without begging for the ticket, he was optimistic of winning at the APC primaries.
He spoke in Benin City at the weekend after he received the Nigeria Legendary Hall of Fame award for Role Model and the 2016 Man of Excellence award by the Edo Arise for Democracy, Good Governance and Cultural Awareness.
Agbomhere pointed out that he was aspiring to be the State number one citizen not because of youthful exuberance but to pass a message to the elders that youths were ready to occupy leadership positions in terms of governance.
He said, “The time has come for young pole to demand for opportunity to serve in government at the highest level. Edo State will not go anywhere until it begins to engage up young people as governors and commissioners.
“This is the time for young people to be tested. A government without the youths is not for us. We will grab the opportunity this time and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
“Those who are not for us, we will lock them in a room until the primaries is concluded. Power is not begged for. I will not kneel down to beg an individual or leader to be governor.
