A frontline governorship aspirant of the Labour Party(LP) in Edo State, Barrister Kenneth Imansuangbon(aka The Riceman), has said that he remains the only aspirant that can secure victory for the party in the September governorship election. He said the Edo governorship polls was between the masses, the state government and the federal government.
He spoke after submitting his nomination and expression of interest forms that he represents the masses and is otherwise known as ‘Street Governor.’ He said he has direct connection to the masses of Edo State because of his antecedents and he is confident that the Edo people will reciprocate his love for them over the years.
The educationist and lawyer also appealed to members and leaders of the LP to allow a free and fair primary not to be skewed to the highest bidder.
According to him, “I just submitted my nomination form and I am set for the party primary. The primary is the only hurdle for me because I know I can defeat any candidate presented by both the PDP and the APC. Members of both opposition parties will switch to LP if I win the primary.
“All I am asking for is a free and fair primary. We need it for the unity of our party. I am the best aspirant to win this election for our party. I am the ‘Street Governor.’ I am known by all across the state.
“I can tell you that Edo people are waiting to have me on the ballot because they are tired of the shenanigans of the PDP and APC. Edo cannot afford another tenure of the present misgovernance and it is only the LP that can bring prosperity to the state.”
The National Organizing Secretary of the party, Clement Ojuchukwu,  members of the National Working Committee and the South/South Chairman of LP, Chief Tony Eze-Agu -Agu, on submission of the forms had promised that the party will give a free level playing field to all aspirants in the forthcoming primaries.
