Edo 2024: Labour Party Aspirant Advises Electorate Against Voting For "Foreign Leaders "

By Iduozee Efe Paul


Dr Azemhe Azena, a leading aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2024 governorship election in  Edo state,  has advised electorate not to vote for "foreign leaders" as governor in the election.

Azena noted that diaspora candidates and leaders are not exposed to the challenges confronting the masses but only to  their benefactors.

The Labour Party governorship candidate hopeful gave the advise  at the Azemhe Project Mega Summit with the theme, "Setting An Agenda for A Better Edo State," which took place  in Ekpoma, the Edo Central Senatorial District.

"Edo people should not accept foreign leaders. Foreign leaders are those people who don't  live with us here in the state. They are those who don't have their families here in Edo state. 


"They are those who don't have their investments here. They are those who don't make use of our roads, hospitals, and schools. We should not accept them. Choose among us  aspirants and  don't accept foreign candidates", he said.


The Senior Pastor at Omega Fire Ministries, Southern Region 2. Benin City, who said he is passionate on delivering dividends of democracy to the people of the state, however, urged electorate to jettison zoning arrangement that is being clamouring for by aspirants in a section of the state.

He urged the people of the state as well as political parties faithful to look out for visionary and creative candidate that has what it takes to tackle the socioeconomic challenges confronting them and the state.


According to him, let us try and have a visionary, creative and  leader with a conscience. A leader that has what it takes to pilot the affairs of Edo state. 

"In looking for such leader,  I, Dr Azemhe Azena stand out to be one. That is why I am saying to Edo people, please give me the opportunity to serve you, and to make Edo state a better place for  all.

"Zoning arrangement will not profit Edo people. The governorship zoning is a turn of Edo state, not the turn of any senatorial district. I strongly  believed  in Edo agenda because without Benin there can never be Edo state, without Esan there can never be Edo state, so also without Edo North (Afenmai) there can never be Edo State.

"There are friends who are better than brothers. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was not from Esan, I think his government benefited the Esan people.

"Today, if someone like Comrade Oshiomhole becomes the governor, I believed the Esan people will still benefit from such person. And I believed strongly that such person is me. If I become the governor of Edo state, the Esan, Benin, Afenmai and other tribes in the state will benefit from me",he added.

He explained that the Mega Summit  in Edo Central senatorial district  afforded him the opportunity to tell the people in the locality on what they intends to benefits if given the mandate to govern the state.

The Televangelist, who said the same mega summit had been held in Edo South senatorial district, disclosed that the next summit will be held in Edo North senatorial district.
