By -

(Nigeria) National Chairman of the All progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on Wednesday expressed optimism that the party would win the September 10 governorship election in Edo State on the basis of performance.
He told journalists in Benin that the credentials the party had for believing that it would the election was good performance of its administration in the state.
Odigie-Oyegun said that people in the state knew what they wanted, adding that his party’s campaigns had been issue-based and quite successful.
He said that the party had performed creditably in its almost eight years in government as against the over 10 years the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was in charge in the state.
“Our campaign has been very good, there was a period of drama but all that is behind us and the arguments are very clear irrespective of whatever individual issues there must be and there have been.
"The issue is simple; we have had the APC in government for seven years plus; before that we had PDP in government in the state for 10 years. You can hardly see anybody who can point to any single substantial development in the 10 years of PDP compared with the almost eight years of APC under Oshiomhole and that in fact, decides the issue.
"When you ask people, `what is your preference, do you want the good times to continue or do you want to revert to the bad old days’, the issue becomes very clear and then you get a resounding let the good days continue.
``That is where the debate rests and the result has been very good.
