2023 Elections: We need Unity in PDP To Move Into Aso Rock – Imansuangbon

BENIN – Kenneth Imansuangbon, a chieftain of the People’s Dem­ocratic Party in Edo State, has called on all members of the People’s Democratic Party to close ranks for the purpose of winning the presidency in next year’s general election.

Imansuangbon, former gov­ernorship in Edo State, also said the party needs unity of purpose to win majority seats in the National Assembly to offer good governance to Nige­rians from May 2023.

Speaking shortly after he was elected national delegate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for Esan South East Lo­cal Government Area of Edo State, Imansuangbon said he would want to passionately ap­peal to PDP members across the country to take advantage of the failures of the All Pro­gressives Congress to secure a landslide victory at the next year’s polls.

Imansuangbon urged Nige­rians to punish the APC with their votes for bringing hunger, deaths, and high cost of living in the past eight years.

He said it was irresponsible of some political appointees to remain in office while seeking elective offices.

According to him, “This is the time for the PDP to be unit­ed. We cannot allow ourselves to be blinded by individual ambition to lose the bigger fish which is getting the party back to the villa.

“Nigerians are tired of the APC. The failure of the APC across all sectors is a pointer to the fact that we need unity in the PDP.

“I am calling on all APC po­litical appointees to resign im­mediately including the CBN governor. Their continuous stay in office against dictates of the electoral act is an insult to the generality of Nigerians.”

Imansuangbon popularly re­ferred to as the ‘riceman scored 156 votes to defeat his opponent Giwa Agbonmere who got 50 votes.
