He said: I am in this race to win not  to stand in for anybody, my numerous supporters should ignore such insinuations because I am in the race to win and showcase what is called good governance. 

The ex-House member further explained that he  is in the race after consulting with his supporters and critical stakeholders on his mission to Denis Osadebey House before the COBID-19 outbreak. 

“In the virtual conference I held with my Edo people, I told them that the future of Edo is represented in who we are collectively. 

“That is why the 2020 gubernatorial election is about you, the good people of Edo state. It is about how to ensure that you live in a safe and secured environment.  

“It is about making sure that you feed well, receive quality and affordable education and training, secure good jobs, support your own families and contribute positively to the development of our state.This is what a responsive and responsible government owes its citizens. 

“This is what our generation owes upcoming generations. This is what we must do to guarantee our country’s future. This is what democracy promises. This is what our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), seeks to actualize.

“Our party, the APC at its inception offered great hope for many Nigerians,  Edos inclusive as a potent alternative to the PDP. We have in our fold selfless leaders who cherish democratic principles and practice and who have demonstrated their patriotism in deepening democracy and ensuring democratic dividends for all of our people.

“Let me assure you that our party remains strong and capable of fulfilling our state’s thirst for change. And we shall do so united across tribe, religion and generations.

“I believe that it is the responsibility of my generation to offer our political shoulders to the new generation to climb upon, improve their vision and expand their horizon. 

“It is this trans-generational collaboration and partnership that represent the best model to create the future that we desire and deserve. This is a well-tested model; the future of our state should never again be subjected to leadership experimentation,” Agbonnayinma asserted.
