Ahead of next year’s governorship election in Edo State, the state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole yesterday declared that the person to succeed him must be one who has passion for the state and is elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking with newsmen, Oshiomhole further described his ideal successor as one who must have the managerial competence to drive and ensure that the state witnesses more growth and development than during his tenure.
Noting that his APC will easily defeat whoever is fielded by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in next year’s election, he stressed that his administration has rediscovered the state and made the people to have confidence that Edo is viable.
According to him, “Today the Edo man has regained confidence, there is no question now that the state is capable of developing and that we can do something about the problem of infrastructure, flooding, restoring integrity to public schools and restoring integrity to public healthcare system.
“The problem we are having in Edo today is that PDP cannot show you one clean road with street light, with drainage that they did that is still there. The only thing you can see are the ones Ogbemudia did. If the PDP had laid some foundations we would have gone far today, we started form minus and minus to zero.
“But the next governor is going to build on plus plus plus. And I am confident that the next governor will come from APC because the PDP has neither the messenger nor can they have a credible message.”
