Esele, who is one of the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirants for the Edo State governorship election slated for September 10, told Vanguard that if he had wanted to be a deputy governor, he would have reached out to any of the leading aspirants in the governorship race to negotiate.
He said: “Do you know how many local governments I have visited and what I am going through right now? Do you know the number of sleepless nights I have had and the number of people I have met? You think I am doing these things because I want to become a deputy governor?
“That is an insult. If I want to become the deputy governor, I can reach out to whoever is the leading aspirant and negotiate and I will not need to waste the energy and resources that I am deploying now. If I want to become deputy governor, I know what to do.”
