Speaking after visiting the Internally Displaced Persons camp in Edo state, he said: “I am not a desperate politician, I earned my votes, I don’t steal votes. My people love me, I am not desperate, I don’t need to blackmail somebody to win votes. I won my votes on merit and I will do my best any day. I tell people that I am not one of those governors, who make decisions because election is at the corner, no, I make decisions when I am convinced.
“And you know when somebody talked about the camp, I said I will need to know first who is in that camp. I am not looking for camera opportunity. My conscience is clear. When I am convinced I take action. So if the PDP wants to play politics with the lives of the children that is their business, I will be ready for them in 2016.”
Meanwhile, there are strong indications that the main political parties in Edo state, PDP and the ruling APC have started planning in preparations for the 2016 governorship election.
