LABOUR Party flag bearer, Mr Opeyemi Bamidele, has expressed optimism of his very bright chances in the forthcoming  election.

Bamidele, who said he had political edge above the other 17 guber candidates who have emerged from other political parties in the race, expressed hope that this would certainly favour him at the polls.
He said his unionism background and political exposure spanning over two decades are his selling points  regardless of the limited resources at his disposal.

In a statement by Ahmed Salami his media aide, Bamidele maintained that he is not a gambler adding that the outcome of June 21 election would be a “rude shock to his opponents.”

Bamidele said “I have no doubt in my mind that I’m the best candidate in this race. I’m neither a gambler nor a believer in fluke victory. I’m adequately prepared for this job and this is not born out of self-delusion but my inspiration is drawn from a profile of my past achievements in political offices”.

Speaking further, he boasted that “I have been in leadership positions and successfully piloted affairs of men from a tender age of 17.”
