Frontline APC aspirant for Edo guber 2024, Senator Prof Oserheimen Osunbor has said he is God’s divine gift to Edolites.
Osunbor made this assertion while trying to convince critical stakeholders at the APC Secretariat in Benin City capital of Edo State.
Hear him:
“Many people in Edo State want the APC to give them a gift by nominating me. I believe that on the day of the convention, when it is announced that Osunbor is the candidate, there will be jubilation across Edo State,” was one of the intriguing lines in Professor Oserheimen Aigberaodion Osunbor’s statement while effortlessly selling himself to APC leaders at the party’s headquarters in Benin City last week.
Those words portend hopes for the people of Edo State, whose emotions are currently wild over almost a decade of rudderless leadership. They turned the tables on the opposition’s thoughts and made people love him even more.
While no one has any idea what to expect from other aspirants, considering the fact they are breaking into entirely new territory, Senator Osunbor is tested and trusted after his memorable 18 months in the saddle, making him a gift beyond calculable worth to Edo State, given its high-level decadence.
The APC selection process is rife with dramatic tales right out of a storybook, given the seemingly wavering stance of the party leadership in settling for Senator Osunbor, unarguably the only aspirant that can make the gubernatorial election a walk in the park for the opposition party.
By now, the party leaders ought to have asked other aspirants, whose chances are hanging by a thread to step down and rally behind Senator Osunbor for good of the party and betterment of all Edo State citizens.
However, the odds remain in favour of Senator Osunbor, who is back to the grind with full confidence hinged on his instrinsic qualities, which manifest and stand him out of the crowd.
This explains why he boasts of them at every opportunity without a fear of contradiction, as absolutely nothing contrary can be said of the professor of law by anyone or from any quarter or sphere.
He did so with a cool, collected demeanour while informing APC leaders of his intention to run at the party’s leaders at the secretariat last week.
His words of lasting ramifications had the party leaders at the edge of their seats nodding in affirmation amid grave silence.
Senator Osunbor has shown his readiness to be put through gruelling physical and mental challenges to prove he is fit for the familiar top assignment. He enjoys support from the length and breadth of Edo State and wants to be assessed on the basis of what he can bring to the table and not where he comes from.
“I am more comfortable if I am assessed not really on where I come from but on the basis of what I can bring to the table,” the leading APC aspirant said.
He continued, “On both terms, whether you are talking about rotation or the quality of the candidate, I am very comfortable. In fact, I should say I am more comfortable if I am assessed not really on where I come from but on the basis of what I can bring to the table.
“When you are looking at the qualities of the candidate, what are you really looking at? You are looking at his educational qualifications; you are looking at his character; you are looking at his track record; you are looking at his integrity; and so forth and so on. With due humility, I think I stand very tall, probably taller than the competition that is out there.”
Edo State undoubtedly needs an unprecedented level ofserenity that arouses prosperity, which only Senator Osunbor can offer.
Edo State people crave his return to Osadebe Avenue and behove the APC to give the people the leader they want, which is the essence of democracy.
