Edo 2024: Esan Aspirants Scheming For Deputy Governor – APC Chief

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Leader of the party in Edo Central Senatorial District Major General Cecil Esekhaigbe (rtd) Thursday has accused some of the aspirants of undermining the Esan Agenda with their plot to pick up the position of Deputy Governor.

Besides the plot by some of the Esan aspirants for the position of deputy governor, Esekhaigbe in a statement also accused other senatorial zones of  ganging-up against Edo Central with the slogan of competence as against the agitation of zoning to Central, the only zone yet to occupy the office of governor for a full four year term.

He said despite his genuine intentions for his party and the people of Esan land, he had been called unpalatable names saying that the only scheme of some of the aspirants was the slot of deputy governor.

Referring to some of the aspirants who willingly participated in the screening but suddenly turned against him, he said:

“Why will a man deny he was invited for an exercise which he deliberately skipped?

  “Why will a man who knows his constitutional limitations of tenure continue to deceive himself? Is Esan looking for a one term Governor?

   “Can a man who is still on active service of a corporate organisation come and take precedence over the men who have kept the party for years? Some known political scammers have assured them of the miracle of Daman.

      “Let us be wise and take a bold decision towards our quest for Esan Governor. No avalanche of insults on me will give you the ticket. I have made my sacrifice, so please make yours. Stop wasting your hard earned money on political jobbers who have no visible means of livelihood.

   “Some Esan political Leaders are deliberately sowing seeds of discord to the advantage of the other Senatorial Districts. Some are even positioning for Deputy Governorship.

  “Let us have a conversation today on our best for the job. Tomorrow may be too late. Those calling me names today would remember this day tomorrow. Take the message and forget the messenger.  We need only one man for the job. Edo Central needs the APC ticket so are other parties in Esanland. I repeat with emphasis that all the aspirants cannot all get the ticket. Only one Aspirant will get the ticket,” he concluded in disparaging the scheme by some of the Esan aspirants for the position of deputy governor.
