The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the September 28, in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has again asked the eligible voters in the state to cast their votes for him, assuring that he will keep to his campaign promises.
The PDP gubernatorial candidate also informed that he is a better candidate having lived all his life in the state and knows the challenges facing the people and how to address them.
Pastor Ize-Iyamu spoke while addressing stakeholders during a campaign trip to some communities in Orhionwon local government area of the state.
He also said he is better equipped to govern Edo state because his interest in politics is not selfish but borne out of a desire to ensure that the commonwealth of the people is administered in the best possible way for the wellbeing of a greater number.
“I was born in Edo state. I schooled in Edo state. I worked in Edo state. I married from Edo state. My business is in Edo state. In fact I have lived all my life in Edo state. To me this means that I am completely committed to the prosperity of Edo state.
“I believe that we can make Edo better and greater than it is presently, so that our children can agree to live here and in turn help in contributing their own quota to the growth and development of our state.
“I ventured into politics because am concerned about the situation of our state and the condition of our people. And that is because no matter the much you do as an individual you can only scratch the surface.
“The only institution that has the capacity to contribute meaningfully to the welfare of many is the government. Government is the custodian of our commonwealth. So anybody with such passion like mine must be in government so that our commonwealth is used for the good of more people”, Pastor Ize-Iyamu added.
