Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo
State, has submitted a letter of intent to the national leadership of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, ahead the 2015 presidential election, Vanguard has gathered.
It was gathered that his former
governorship campaign office will serve as his presidential campaign office in
Edo State and that majority of the APC governors may soon endorse him as their
candidate due to the belief that his popularity cuts across the country
However, the Special Adviser to the
governor, Mr Kaseem Afegbua, noted that the governor has the pedigree to run
for the highest position in the country, therefore, people should not be
surprised if he decides to join the race.
“I don’t know why it appears strange
that Adams Oshiomhole is running for president? Does he not have the pedigree
to do so or some people are just trying to be cynical about his ambition? Or
the PDP is jittery, knowing fully well that Oshiomhole enjoys national support
and a greater appeal than some of those presently eyeing the plum position.
“Since the news broke, we have been
inundated with several telephone calls which also suggests that a lot of
Nigerians across socio-political divides welcome the idea. Some of those highly
placed Nigerians that spoke to us concede to the fact that he is eminently
qualified to run for the nation’s highest office.”
