Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola has pledged his support to Edo state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole should he decide to vie for presidency come 2015.
Fashola made the promise during a youth submit organised by the Edo state Government in Benin city. He said, "If Governor Adams Oshiomhole decides to run as President of this country, he will have my vote. He is the kind of leader that Nigeria needs. I say that because, I have spent five memorable years of my life in Benin City as an undergraduate and as a Youth Corper and they are very fond memories that I hold dear in my heart today.
"I am always looking forward to coming here each time I am invited. The excitement to come here is at an all time high. Since my brother assumed office as your governor, because every time that I come here, for all the right reasons, Benin City has not remained the same. It has changed positively and continues to change.
"On my way here, I drove past my former office on Sapele Road and clearly the place has transformed. And the Airport Road is now wider. I know what Ring Road used to be like and Akpakpava road. It is nice to know that tourism is back. Flights are regular and you have done it because you have allowed yourselves to be led by a man who can inspire you to action. And I don’t think that anybody can claim the credit for what has happened here if not the people of Edo State", Fashola added.
So far, Oshiomhole hasn't been considered a likely candidate for the Presidency come 2015. Is Fashola trying to send a message across to the Nigerian electorate or is he simply hyping a fellow party man ?.
