Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole yesterday declared that he cannot remain neutral in the choice of his successor in the 2016 governorship election in the state even as he assured that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would create a level playing ground for all aspirants at the forthcoming party’s primaries.
The governor was apparently responding to widespread rumour of his support for Godwin Obaseki as his successor and arm-twisting party members to support his preferred aspirant ahead of primaries.
He denied insinuation that he is going to impose the chairman Edo State Economic Team, Mr Godwin Obaseki on the party but added that he is entitled to exercise his fundamental human right like every other member of the party.
Oshiomhole who spoke yesterday at an enlarged meeting with the APC leaders from the three senatorial districts of the state also noted that politicking is all about contestation and negotiation.
He stated, “The governorship candidate of this party will be produced through primaries. The last elections in Edo State we had primaries in each of the election. They were state in part of this Country (South/South) were candidate were imposed and heaven didn’t fall.
