Governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party faction, led by Senator Modu Sheriff, Hon. Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, has said he would make Edo State great if elected as governor.

The Sheriff faction has scheduled its primaries for this week and two persons have bought the nomination forms.

Ehiozuwa who spoke to newsmen in Benin City said the experience he has garnered as a lawmaker made him the right person to succeed Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

Displaying his nomination and Expression of Interest Forms to PDP supporters in Edo State, Ehiozuwa said he joined team with Senator Sheriff because of a subsisting court judgement and promised to backdown, if there is a contrary ruling before the party primary.

He stated that he decided to contest to protect the state from those he described as poachers who do not want the progress of the state.

His words, “If I win nomination, I assure you that I will give power back to the people. Until the is a contrary court judgement setting aside the subsisting court ruling, Alimo Sheriff remains the Chairman of our great party.

“The previous preliminary PDP primary is a null and void, because the constitution of our great party, PDP, we must adhere to it. We must support the rule of law and as a lawmaker, I should not be violating the laws of the party or the country.”

He added: “I’m a lawmaker and not a Law breaker. I’m not the only one contesting, there are many others.”
