KANO (North-West, Nigeria) — As the Governorship election in Edo State draws nearer, the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Azemhe Azena said he has all it takes to wrestle power from the big political parties, People’s Democratic Party, PDP and All Progressives Congress, APC in the state.
This was as the gubernatorial candidate said he is the most qualified candidate among the contestants as one with strong touch with the base and has all it takes to govern the state.
Dr. Azena who stated this while fielding questions from newsmen during his visit to Kano, said his chances and that of the party were bright, especially that the people of the state were tired of the big political parties who have failed them in the past.
According to him, “My chances are 100 per cent because people are tired of the big political parties. And you know, being a pastor, I believe so much that a stone can bring down the goliath. The goliath parties that we have in the state, I have a stone and catapult with me, and i am going to bring them down.
“My desire is for NNPP to take over Edo State so that the people of the state can enjoy what Kano people are enjoying in the past one year under the Governor Abba Yusuf. And also enjoy what our leader, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso installed in Kano over years ago. We believe that NNPP will bring succour, liberation and deliverance to the people of Edo State. NNPP is the only light that the Nigeria people should look up to because other parties have failed and betrayed us. NNPP is the bride and everyone should look up to it. It is the party that will restore Nigeria back to where it used to be. Where people sleep with their eyes closed, where education will be given to the poorest as free education, electricity be stable and security tight. I see NNPP bringing restoration to Nigeria and Edo State.
“They may be the ruling party but NNPP is becoming the mega party, when we control the number. We have every good opportunity to rule and govern Edo State because the people are for us. The people are yearning for a change. They are tired people that betrayed them in the past, fake promises, stolen their money, audio contract, incessant increment of school fees, there is hunger in the land. You will agree with me, that the succour they are looking for is not with these same parties who have betrayed them in the past but with a new pride like me.
“And among the candidates who are contesting for the election, I am the most qualified. I’m the really homeboy. All candidates leave outside Edo. I leave and based in Edo, so what it takes to take care and deliver Edo state is with me,” Dr. Azena said.
The NNPP Guber candidate said he was in Kano, the root of NNPP, to meet with one of the leaders of the party, Governor Abba Yusuf to perfect preparation ahead of the party’s campaign flag off and the September 21st election in Edo State.
Dr. Azena however, vowed to emulate and replicate the good tidings he saw in Kano back home in Edo State, in the areas of education, infrastructure, roads and environments among others if he emerged victorious at the September polls.
