Labour Party gubernatorial candidate Olumide Akpata has stated that he is not answerable to any godfather as his allegiance is to the people of Edo State.
While featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme on Thursday, Akpata said his party can be trusted because he will not answer to any godfather if he emerges victorious in the September 21, 2024 election.
“That is one reason they (Edo people) can trust the Labour Party government because we are answerable to the people.
“I have no strings attached. I am not answerable to any godfather. I am not answerable to any political benefactor,” he stated.
Speaking further, Akpata disclosed that Governor Godwin Obaseki is not the one funding his campaign.
“Initially, I was said to be the agent of Governor Obaseki, we were able to debunk that. Today, I was said to be sponsored by the APC. I think it is conspiracy theorising that is most stupid.
“I am funding myself and I have friends who believe in me and that we can do much better in Edo,” Akpata said.
