Abuja-Indications
emerged Thursday night that the major stakeholders of the party representing
Edo South, Central and North senatorial districts met in an undisclosed
location at Abuja and may have endorsed Arc. Ilenre Austin Emuan (MNIA) as the
most preferred gubernatorial candidate of the party for the 2016 guber election
in Edo State.
Sources
close to the organizers of the secret meeting quoted one of the stakeholders as
saying that, “The chances of all the aspirants under the APC from the major’s
political camps in the state were reviewed at the meeting but it turned out
that Arc. Emuan stands a better chance because he will enjoy tremendous support
of the people both in Edo North where he was born (Etsako), his native place,
Edo central (Esan land) and Edo south where he has major supporters within the
party caucus members.
“Again,
looking at all the aspirants and their antecedents, Arc. Emuan is one candidate that will give the
APC an easy ride to victory. So, the decision to back him is a wise one and a
good development for the APC”, one of the stakeholders said.
However, efforts to speak with some of the aspirants last night proved abortive
as they did not pick their calls but decisions were reached to conceal their
plans only to convey the decision to other stakeholders in their senatorial
structures within and outside the state.
