Kenneth Imasuagbon, an aspirant for the governorship polls in Edo State on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), has said that the people of the State will not allow “strangers from Lagos” to rule the state ahead of next years election.
Addressing party leaders and supporters after picking his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms in Abuja on Thursday, Imasuagbon said Edo people are tired of the suffering, adding that “We are tired of the bad roads. We are tired of the insecurity. We are tired of election rigging.”
He said the people of the State are tired of the APC and PDP and the time has come for Labour Party to take over the state, adding that, “APC cannot take Edo, Edo no be Lagos, Edo no be Imo, Edo no be Kogi. I dare any party to rig the Edo election when I get the LP ticket.
“What stands me out is my experience. What stands out is my passion for the Edo people. What stand me is that Edo people know me and I know them. They want the man we know. We don’t need strangers from Lagos, we don’t need cartels from Lagos.”
Speaking on the vexed issue of zoning, he said ” I think Edo Central should get the LP ticket because is our turn. Tinubu was right when he said Emilokan. I declared by this form that Emilokan. Is the turn of Edo Central to produce the Edo State Governor in 2024.
“I have put in 20 years of hard work crisscrossing Edo State ten times. No man knows Edo State like me. Nobody has supported Edo people like me. The people of Edo are waiting to pay me back. Labor Party should give me the ticket, when they give me the ticket and I fly the ticket, it is finished.”
He lambasted the present administration in the State, saying, “Governor Obaseki has spoken English for the last eight years. But he has done nothing for the people. So that is why I’m coming. That’s why I left the PDP. The party, PDP in Edo is a monumental failure. I will rate Obaseki 2%.”
He also said he was ready for any form of primaries, whether direct or indirect. “I have what it takes to win.”
