Former Executive Director,  Finance and Administration of the Niger-Delta  Development  Commission, (NDDC), and the aspirant favoured to be the 2024 Edo State governorship hopeful under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), General Charles Airhiavbere (rtd), mni has reiterated the fact that he is the best man for the job.

Airhiavbere expressed this confidence at winning the governorship ticket of the ruling party spoke when he received supporters and members of members of his campaign organization who purchased APC expression of interest and nomination forms for him during the week at Abuja.

He explained that his chances of winning the governorship ticket of APC on a level playing field was high due to his loyalty to the party, experience, background, and political pedigree.

He said, "Edo is bigger than one individual and no one should arrogate to himself the unnatural and evil responsibility of picking the gubernatorial flag bearer of the APC party because it will not be in her best interest". 

“Nigeria is a democracy of One man, One vote. We must practice what we preach. The party has settled for direct primary.  It is the duty of every member to go out there and decide who should be the flag bearer. There should be no pruning or whatever before the time.

“It is the confidence you have in me that made you do this. It is the same faith all Edo people have for me that propelled me to indicate interest in the beginning. There were so many calls, for me to present myself to serve. I heeded the calls and I am in the race to win because I am the best,  the very best, he added.

Going further, General Charles Airhiavhere added, “I have the experience as a former gubernatorial candidate. I know the terrain. I have the reach, the capacity, the competence and whatever else is required for this assignment and I know for a fact that My chances of winning are brighter.”

The retired general said Edo is in opposition right now and risk remaining so and detached from the APC-led Federal Government unless it gets it right by deciding on the most qualified and most prepared candidate for the elections.
