Former governor of Edo State and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole - who clock 70 on Monday - has declared to contest election into the Senate to represent Edo North Senatorial District.


His 70th birthday, which was done in his Iyamoh residence at Etsako West local government area, had several leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and many well wishers in attendance.




Oshiomhole 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.“


After all consultations, you must be convinced that you can do it and improve on it. These times that people have been asking me, I have also been examining myself because I do not want to go to the senate and sit down, listen to motions and collect salary at the end of the month.






“I do not believe that I need to go to the senate to take a sabbatical to take a rest because that is an important institution where men and women are elected by their people to contribute to affairs that affect their people, how funds are allocated and to ensure that the people of Nigeria have value for their resources and money.
