Adams Oshiomhole
Chairmanship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has boasted to defeat his opponents contesting in opposition to him on the party’s June 23 nationwide conference.
Other aspirants within the race with Comrade Oshiomhole included his predecessor Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, a former Cross River governor, Clement Ebri and Ibrahim Emokpaire.
Fielding questions from newsmen after commissioning his marketing campaign workplace, in Abuja, on Sunday, the previous govermor of Edo state revealed that one-time Minority Leader House of Representatives, Hon. Faruk Adamu Aliyu, has graciously accepted to be his Campaign Director.
Oshiomhole equally expressed confidence that many governors, National Assembly members and different party stakeholders will assist his aspiration.
“In a boxing match, you do not ask a featherweight to go into the ring with a heavyweight. It is going to be a very interesting convention. I think for all of us who believe in democracy, this is to be expected,” he mentioned.
On whether or not he's scared that some governors wouldn't assist him, he mentioned, “I want to talk about my own state that many people at various levels including governors, senators past and present and our current governor, I am very hopeful that they will be in my support.”
