Ahead of the 2024 governorship race, the people of the Edo Central have started reaching out to other zones to produce the next governor of the race, ADEYINKA ADEDIPE writes
Since the beginning of the Fourth Republic in 1999, save for the short-lived tenure of Prof Oserhiemen Osunbor, who was elected in April 2007 and sacked by the court on November 11, 2008, to pave the way for the emergence of Adams Oshiomhole, the Edo Central zone has yet to produce a governor again in the state, while stakeholders are hoping that the call will yield a favourable result.
The zone seems to have become a tool in the hand of desperate politicians to bargain for their selfish interests without considering the overall interest of the Esan people who make up the zone. The best the zone has produced is the position of the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, while political parties, over the years have shunned candidates aspiring for the governorship position from the area.
