Former governor of Edo State, Professor Oserheimen Osunbor, has joined the growing number of aspirants from different political parties jostling to take over from incumbent Governor, Godwin Obaseki, in 2024. As at the last count, about a dozen aspirants cutting across different parties have indicated interest to contest for the plum job.
Osunbor declared his intention to contest for the governorship election with a pledge to address failed road infrastructure and other poor developmental projects that have adversely affected the state .
Osunbor made the declaration when he spoke with journalists on Thursday in Benîn City at the All Progressives Congress (APC) state secretariat shortly after making his intention known to the leadership of the Edo state chapter of the party.
He said that he has the capacity to lead Edo state to an enviable position if given the opportunity in 2024 to be governor of the state.
He added: “I have the experience and integrity, having been in the office as governor for a short time. I will deliver good governance if given the ticket and win the election.”
Osunbor canvassed for the support of the party leaders, promising that he “will take the state to greater heights following my rich history as an astute politician.”
He was received by the state secretary, Mr. Lawrence Okah, the state Youth Leader, Mr. Tony “Kabaka” Adun and a host of others.
