Blessing Agbomhere, south-south organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asked Abdullahi Ganduje, national chair of the party, to hand him the governorship ticket for Edo state.
The state’s governorship election has been slated for September.
In a letter to Ganduje, Agbomhere said as governor of Edo, he will rekindle the growth Adams Oshiomhole brought when he was in charge of the state.
The politician said he had been loyal to the party when the likes of Godwin Obaseki, incumbent governor of Edo, deserted the APC.

“Despite all my contributions, I have never been offered the opportunity to work for my State through the government. I decided to seek an elected office that will put me in a good position to work for the people,” he said.
“In 2016, when I ran for the Edo Governorship Primary under the APC, Governor Obaseki and Philip Shuaibu were chosen over me. When they abandoned our Party, I stood with the Party.
“In 2017, I contested the House of Representatives Primary, another person was chosen. When he abandoned the Party, I stood with the Party. I have committed my expertise, resources to supporting the APC in Edo and across the Nation.

“I have worked for the Party. The Party must reward loyalty and commitment by engaging me, BLESSING AGBOMHERE, a true party man who has worked for the Party, to fly the party’s flag in the coming Governorship Election.
“I swear, as Executive Governor, Edo State will witness the rekindling of the massive growth and development sparked by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole’s administration in a new dimension.
“My Chairman, I apply to be given the APC Governorship Ticket. Please, for the sake of the unborn generation of our dear State, engage and employ me to work for our dear State. Thank you in anticipation of your kind consideration.”
The letter was copied to President Bola Tinubu, and Senate President Godswill Akpabio, among others.
