Not less than 12 Edo state governorship governorship aspirants have picked the All Progressives Congress (APC) forms.

The aspirants, who want to contest in Edo state governorship election coming up on the 10th of September this year, include the incumbent deputy governor of Edo state, Dr. Pius Odubu, Mr Godwin Obaseki, Barr. Kenneth Imansuangbon, major general Charles Airhiavbere (rtd).

Others are the former President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Peter Esele, Chris Osa Ogiemwonyi, Blessing Agbomehere, Arch. Austine Ilenre Emuan, Mrs. Tina Agbarha.

A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo state, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, Friday submitted the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship nomination and expression of interest forms.

Prof. Osunbor, who lost the governorship seat to Governor Adams Oshiomhole in court after spending close two years in office, said he was not threatened by the alleged endorsement of a candidate by the governor.

The Professor of Law had earlier said that he left the PDP in 2012 because the party manipulated its governorship primary election when he addressed journalists after obtaining the forms at the APC national secretariat. He also expressed his wish for Edo Central to produce the next governor of Edo state if the APC constitution recognizes zoning.

Meanwhile, Hon. Emmanuel Arigbe-Osula has joined the Edo state governorship race as he obtained the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms Friday in Abuja.

The former deputy minority leader in the House of Representatives, who spoke after picking the forms, promised to create 50,000 jobs through the private sector within the first year in office.

Arigbe-Osula, who said he has the character and integrity to govern Edo state, stated that the party delegates and other stakeholders would benefit from his new economic model.

In his remarks, the APC Director of Administration, Abdullahi Gashu'a, who presented the forms to the aspirant, said the party was committed to conducting free, fair and transparent governorship primary election on June 18, 2016.

“Edo is dear to us. You are one of many aspirants. Every aspirant is an equal aspirant,” Gashu'a also said.

though people would choose to disagree. edo south and edo central is where pdp can really share votes with apc. but edo north where oshiomole and I come from. PDP would struggle to give reasons why people should not vote for apc. (forget osho baba touched all local govt there i swear.)
would be tight, but apc would still win.
