Unical Lecturer Set To Succeed Governor Oshiomhole

In preparation for the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, a law lecturer in the University of Calabar, Adaze Emwanta has declared that the reason he is embarking on contesting is to consolidate on the achievements of governor Adams Oshiomhole.

Speaking to reporters in Benin City the state capital, he said that the change agenda of President Mohammadu Buhari could be replicated in the state with renewed hope for the people.

Emwanta noted that politics was no longer a game of age and number but expertise, experience, exposure and economics of expediency, The Nation reports.
He stated that it was time politicians stopped using poverty as an acceptable reason not to perform promptly.
Emwanta said he would soon unveil his ten testaments of hope stating that he is eminently qualified and intellectually capable to govern the state.
He noted that the state capital is now reputed for lawlessness and deplorable inner-city roads.
The lecturer said that he will quickly arrest the dearth of industries and critical infrastructures across the state.
Meanwhile, there has been a war of words between Governor Oshiomhole and Elder Godsday Orubebe, the former minister of Niger Delta affairs whom the governor described as an elevated thug and a political jobber who is out to make noise as a means of getting his next meal ticket.
