Family members and friends of the Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate, Bar. Olumide Akpata, has called on the candidate to take a bow out of the gubernatorial race on the ground of justice, equity and fairness, to allow the race to be exclusively for the Esans since it is the right thing to do, just as the Peoples Democratic Part, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC in the State have done.
According to a family member whose name is withheld for security purposes, “we are worried that his arrogance will further alienate the people than unite them, which is why I think it is necessary to warn Edo people. We don’t want that, and that is why we have severally warned that he should withdraw from the race now”.
Another member of the his family who is close to the candidate also spoke on the condition of anonymity. He described Olumide as “arrogant and with an inflated sense of self-importance,” which he said are not qualities of a good leader, warning that his election will be calamitous for the people. The source said, “We are worried for him as a family. He is so full of himself and arrogant, a trait that he has always displayed while growing up. As far as Olumide is concerned, Might is Right, and arrogance means everything to him. It is always himself first before any other. These are not the qualities of a good leader.
“For leadership position like governor of the state, you need to listen as much as you speak, but Olumide is not that patient. He is too arrogant to consider other people’s opinions. Everyone must work together to ensure he doesn’t get the governorship job at Dennis Osadebey House, otherwise, he will be an emperor and slave master who will bully, batter and silence the voice of Edo people”.
