2023: Adams Oshiomhole Declares For Senate As He Clocks 70

After months and weeks of speculations, former governor of Edo State and former National of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole Monday declared to contest election into the Senate to represent Edo North Senatorial District.

He made the declaration when he marked his 70th birthday at his Iyamoh residence in Etsako West local government area which had several leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in attendance.

Oshiomhole said he chose to celebrate his birthday with his people because he was conscious of his origin as a nobody, given birth to under a tree by his mother but destined by God to be what he is today.

He said “It is true that for quite sometimes, many of our people have asked me why don’t you contest for the Senate and I said first APC has crisis, let us fix the crisis, let there be convention because you cannot begin to discuss what kind of baby you are going to have when you are not married.

“I said until APC is fixed you cannot talk of contesting election using the platform, have been chairman of the party, I know the danger we face if we are not able to fix the party and this was completed and consummated on the 25th of March and we have now elected a brand new National Working Committee and a brand new National Executive Council under the able leadership of a former governor, a former minister and a current senator, Adamu Abdullahi.

“We have done what needs to be done and I am inspired by the position of the new leadership for us to do what we need to do to retain power in 2023. I am therefore convinced that this is the time to proceed to the next step of the conversation which is about who lead the great people of Edo North in the senate by 2023.
