BENIN—AHEAD of the 2016 governorship election in Edo State, a socio-cultural group, Edo Unity League, has thrown its weight behind the aspiration of the former President of Trade Union Congress, TUC, Mr Peter Esele.

The group, in a statement in Benin, Wednesday, by Mr. Sylvester Eragbe, Vice Chairman, Edo North chapter, said that the quest for good governance in the state will continue to occupy the front burner of Edo youths and elders politics.

“We have taken note of the entrants of credible aspirants like Gen. Charles Airhiavbere (retd),  Chief Solomon Edebiri and Dr. Chris Ogiemwonyi and others and the former  President of TUC is one of the outstanding candidates that deserved our appeal to run for the governorship race in 2016,” he said.
