Edo State All Progressives Congress, APC, aspirant, Engineer Chris Ogiemwonyi Thursday said he was not perturbed by the array of government functionaries beside Godwin Obaseki’s ambition, saying the genuine desire of the people for real change will surpass the few persons believed to have bought him the expression of interest and Governorship nomination forms.

The former Minister of Works stated this in Benin City, Edo State when he presented his governorship nomination and expression of interest forms before the party’s faithful and his supporters.

Ogiemwonyi promised to provide good governance having retired from the federal service where he left 35 years ago with unblemished records.

He equally stated that his commitment to launch ‘Operation One Party, One Family’ across the nooks and crannies of the state was to ensure the ruling party remained united before, during and after the 18th June governorship primaries.

“If you see what I navigated in my career to get to the top you will know I am a man of courage. Because of my courage, because of the desire of the people, more than the number of National/State House of Assembly members, because the people want real change, the mass, the critical mass, will subsume the few that picked the forms for him,” he said.

“The people have decided, they need a man who can create jobs, a man who has the capacity, the credibility, independence, not a man who is being carried. The people of Edo State for once have decided to take their destiny in their hands, they cannot afford oppression and whatever it will take to fight oppression, fight deceit, they have; we wont allow people to buy us, we are not cows.”

He also called on delegates to the party’s primaries not to sell their votes to “deep pockets” for a pot of porridge, adding that Edo state is not for sale.

“Today, APC as a national party will surely take Edo in 2016, today there is a consolidation, whatever is the situation in Edo APC, am commencing Operation One Party, One Family. I will be preaching this message from the nooks and crannies of the state and calling on all delegates to choose me as the APC candidate because I remain the best,” he stressed.

He commended the Comrade Governor, Adams Oshiomhole for laying a solid foundation in the state, adding that when he becomes the Governor Edo people will see salvation, while unemployment will be reduced to zero digit. He also promised to pursue agriculture vigorously and address rural/ urban drift.
