The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has restated his commitment to seek re-election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress
Obaseki said this while addressing members of the Obaseki Mandate Group FCT, in Abuja, on Tuesday.
He said his supporters had offered to pay for his expression of interest and nomination forms “on any platform he chooses” but that his choice remains the APC platform which brough him to political limelight.
Obaseki said, “I have chosen the party that brought me in the first place–the APC. No matter the challenges, I will run on the platform of my party. And I’m sure by the grace of God, I will overcome.”
Speaking about the APC primary, the governor said, “I’m not saying I won’t have contestants, of course, democracy is about contestations. Tell me what you want to do for the people, and I will tell you what I can do.
“Tell me what you have done for the people and I will also tell the people what I have done for them and the people will make a choice, that is what democracy is about, that is what our democracy should be.”
He noted that his desire for seeking a re-election was built on the determination to restore Edo State to its pride of place.
