BENIN \u2013 Kenneth Imansuangbon, a chieftain of the People\u2019s Dem\u00adocratic Party in Edo State, has called on all members of the People\u2019s Democratic Party to close ranks for the purpose of winning the presidency in next year\u2019s general election.<\/p>\n
Imansuangbon, former gov\u00adernorship in Edo State, also said the party needs unity of purpose to win majority seats in the National Assembly to offer good governance to Nige\u00adrians from May 2023.<\/p>\n
Speaking shortly after he was elected national delegate of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) for Esan South East Lo\u00adcal Government Area of Edo State, Imansuangbon said he would want to passionately ap\u00adpeal to PDP members across the country to take advantage of the failures of the All Pro\u00adgressives Congress to secure a landslide victory at the next year\u2019s polls.<\/p>\n
Imansuangbon urged Nige\u00adrians to punish the APC with their votes for bringing hunger, deaths, and high cost of living in the past eight years.<\/p>\n
He said it was irresponsible of some political appointees to remain in office while seeking elective offices.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cThis is the time for the PDP to be unit\u00aded. We cannot allow ourselves to be blinded by individual ambition to lose the bigger fish which is getting the party back to the villa.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigerians 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am calling on all APC po\u00adlitical appointees to resign im\u00admediately including the CBN governor. Their continuous stay in office against dictates of the electoral act is an insult to the generality of Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n
Imansuangbon popularly re\u00adferred to as the \u2018riceman scored 156 votes to defeat his opponent Giwa Agbonmere who got 50 votes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
