If the news spreading in Benin, Edo State, is anything to believe, then the coming governorship elections in the state will be a clash of the titans.
Listening to street whispers, one of the banking golden boys, Aigboje Aig-Imhokuede, a business mogul and former Managing Director of Access Bank is following the example of Governor Charles Soludo, former Governor Fatai Ahmed and some other prominent bankers, who dumped their suits to wear the toga of politics.
Aig grew up on the streets of Sabongida-Ora, and as if he could predict the future, he has given back to where he came from more than anyone. He banks on this while on a mission to win the hearts of his people.
The battle for the most coveted seat in the State becomes interesting every day with the likes of the immediate past chairman of the Nigeria Breweries, Asue Ighodalo, Kassim Afegbua, Colonel David Imuse (retd), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, and many other highly qualified people throwing their hats into the ring.
