Tom Iseghohi, a governorship aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) in Edo, says he is the best candidate to succeed Godwin Obaseki, governor of the state.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has slated the Edo governorship election for September 21.

In a statement on Sunday, Iseghohi said he will fix Edo beyond recognition in just three years.

The aspirant said if elected, he will end pain, suffering, and bad governance.

“By God’s grace, on September 21, 2024, we shall put a stop to pain, suffering and bad governance in Edo State. When I become governor-elect in September 2024, we will start work immediately,” he said.

“When I am inaugurated on November 12, 2024, I shall run a ‘people-oriented government.’ I shall work for what my people want, I shall slave for what my people need, and I shall sacrifice for what will make Edo state become once again a shining example in Nigeria. Edo shall be an Eden State, which other states of Nigeria will like to emulate, and to become one day.

“From Benin City, we shall positively influence the governance of Edo people at all levels in the city, local government, federal constituencies, senatorial districts and the state levels.

“I want to fix Edo state, and I know how to do it. When I become the governor of Edo, you will not recognise what the state has become in just three years.

“With your support, we can do this. So, I am asking you to join my political family. Go to the website or send us a WhatsApp message, and we will automatically add you to our political family.”

Iseghohi said nothing is stopping Edo from being as developed as Singapore.
