The Obaseki Mandate Forum, a pressure group, has purchased
the expression of interest and nomination forms for Godwin Obaseki, governor of
Edo, for the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
At a news conference on Wednesday, Nathaniel Momoh, the
forum’s chairman, said the group has confidence in the governor.
The ruling party has fixed June 22 for selecting its
candidate in the governorship election
scheduled for September 19, 2020.
Momoh said the people of Edo, both at home and in the
Diaspora, raised the money used in purchasing the forms.
“Our friends in the media, it would amaze you to know, that
the N22.5 million for the purchase of this forms was sourced from like minds
who have the enthronement of good governance,” he said.
“As well as focus on people’s welfare and infrastructural
development in Edo since the coming on board of our dynamic, focused and
dedicated Gov. Godwin Obaseki.
“We are confident that the will of the people will manifest
in an unmistakable term on June 22, when our party conducts its primary for the
standard flag bearer in the governorship race. We are convinced that no other
name among those whose names are being touted qualifies as the incumbent and
performing Gov. Godwin Obaseki.
“We are optimistic that his pedigree will make him emerge
winner to lead the party to the democratic contest in which he will again
emerge winner to continue to boost the state revenue and infrastructure.”
