Why Former Edo Dep Governor Withdrew From APC Primary

Former deputy governor of Edo State, Mr Lucky Imasuen has pulled out from the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress, APC on the claim that the party has zoned the ticket to Edo Central Senatorial District.

Imasuen made his withdrawal in a note to his supporters late on Friday night.

GWG.ng had earlier reported that the top hierarchy of the party had resolved to zone the ticket to Edo Central with Senator Monday Okpebholo emerging as the top choice of party leaders in Abuja.

Earlier, one of the leading aspirants, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu had earlier pulled out of the contest.

Imasuen who had earlier purchased the nomination form for the ticket, in the note said:

My highly esteemed supporters,

I write to you today with a heavy heart to announce my decision to withdraw from the gubernatorial primaries of our great party scheduled for tomorrow, 17th February 2024 in the interest of peace and unity of our great party.

 I have come to the conclusion that since our national working committee(NWC), in their wisdom, have expressed their preference for zoning the governorship position to Edo Central Senatorial district, it’s wise to align with the decision of the party.

I am immensely grateful for your unwavering support and belief in me throughout this journey. Your dedication and passion have been the driving force behind my campaign.

While this decision was not made lightly, I trust that you will understand and continue to support our party as we work together towards our shared goals.

From the foregoing, I’m ready to support whoever emerges as our candidate in the primary election scheduled for tomorrow.

Thank you once again for standing by my side. Together, we can make a difference and bring about positive change for Edo state.

With sincerest gratitude

H.E Lucky Imasuen.
