A former governor of Edo State, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, has joined the forthcoming 2024 governorship race in the state.
Osunbor, who declared under the All Progressives Congress (APC), said he has the capacity to lead Edo State and its people to prosperity if given the opportunity in 2024 to govern the state.
Recall that Osunbor’s earlier victory in 2008 was set aside by the Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal which declared his election invalid, and asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw his certificate of return and declare Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole of then Action Congress (AC) party as the winner.
Declaring his intention yesterday in Benin, Osunbor pledged to address failed road infrastructure in the state, education, health and other developmental projects that are lacking and have taken the state backwards.
“I have the experience and integrity having been in the office as governor for a short time. I promise to deliver good governance,” he said.
He, however, solicited the support of the party leaders and members in getting the ticket during the party’s primary.
