Former National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has declared his intention to run for the Edo North Senatorial seat under the platform of his party.
Oshiomhole, who was also a two-time governor of the state, made the declaration at his 70th birthday party at Iyamoh in Edo State on Monday.
Oshiomhole said he chose to celebrate his birthday with his people because he was conscious of his origin as a nobody, given birth to under a tree by his mother but destined by God to be what he is today.
He said “It is true that for quite sometimes, many of our people have asked me why don’t you contest for the Senate and I said first APC has crisis, let us fix the crisis, let there be convention because you cannot begin to discuss what kind of baby you are going to have when you are not married.
