The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday said
incumbency factor won’t save Governor Godwin Obaseki, candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from defeat in the September 19
governorship election in Edo state.
Speaking in a chat with Daily
Independent, Yekini Nabena, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
the party said incumbency does not give any advantage to any politician
because it is the will of the electorates that matters.
Nabena
who gave examples of governors and former President Goodluck Jonathan
who lost his reelection to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 said the
people of Edo are ready to vote massively for APC and its candidate,
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu in the election.
“We are not of afraid of incumbency. We have seen a lot of situations where incumbent governors lost their reelection”.
“We
have seen an incumbent President lost his reelection in this country.
So, it is no problem for us. incumbency does not matter anymore this
time. It is the people that matters and I believe that the people of Edo
are ready to vote enmasse for the APC” he said.
