A governoship aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chris Iyare, has advanced reasons why an ‘old folk’ will not succeed the state governor, Adams Oshiomhole.
He charged delegates to the APC primary not to make the mistake of electing leaders who will not deliver on their electoral promises ahead of the Governorship election.
Iyare, spoke on the sidelines of “know your aspirants” organized by an Edo State based private Television station, in Benin City, where he assured that the APC was committed to a free, fair and credible primary election in the state.
He explained that he was in the race to make a difference, unlike in the past when politicians make promises without fulfilling them.
“Never again should we make the mistake of electing leaders that cannot deliver on their mandate.
“It is not about the party, but it is persons who will deliver the dividends of democracy to the people…whoever the party brings out will tell a lot on the outcome of the 2016 Governorship election in Edo state.
“My decision to contest the 2016 Governorship election is based on the fact that our politicians have failed us in the past and that is why we feel that there should be injection of fresh blood and that is why for me it’s a vision.
“I’m not a jobless man like I have said repeatedly. But, Edo State needs to move forward and we need people that can do that. That is why I offer myself for the task of governance”, he said.
