‘Why I want to succeed Oshiomhole’

A lecturer in the Law Faculty of the University of Calabar, Adaze Emwanta, has said his decision to contest next year’s governorship election in Edo State is to consolidate on the achievements of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
Emwanta told reporters in Benin City, the state capital, that the change agenda of President Mohammadu Buhari could be replicated in the state with renewed hope for the people.
Emwanta noted that politics was no longer a game of age and number, but expertise, experience, exposure and economics of expendiency.
He said poverty of ideas was no longer an acceptable reason to justify poor performance.
Emwanta, who was silent on the political party he hoped to contest the election, said he would soon unveil his ten testaments of hope
He said: “I am eminently qualified and intellectually capable to govern the State. Benin City is now reputed for lawlessness and deplorable inner-city roads.”
“I will quickly arrest the dearth of industries and critical infrastructures across the State.
