A Labour Party (LP) governorship aspirant in Edo State, Kenneth Imasuagbon, has claimed that he is a victim of the tyranny of political godfathers.

Speaking during an interview on Arise News on Friday evening, the Edo-born politician stated that political godfathers have been the bane of political growth and development in the country.

Imasugabon said those installed by godfathers don’t have the expertise, exposure, and passion for helping the poor and providing the dividends of democracy to the citizens.

He said: “Political godfathers have been the bane of political growth, and those they anoint don’t have the expertise, exposure, and passion to help the poor.”

Speaking on his governorship ambition, Imasuagbon said his dream was to become the next Edo governor and leave the state better than he met it.

The LP chieftain asserted that the state of Edo is very deplorable and unacceptable, saying that it is because of the poor leadership in the state.
