Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Edo State Gubernatorial Election 2024, Dr Azemhe Azena, has pledged to be truthful and faithful to the Edo people if elected Governor in September.
Speaking in Germany, Italy and elsewhere in Europe during his European Tour visiting Edo indigenes and media representatives in the Diaspora, including representatives of SME MEDIA, Dr Azena, at a Press Conference, stated that as a pastor, businessman and academic, he has a clear idea how to transform Edo State and make it the envy of all.
He said he was in the race to win, not to be among the numbers.
He called on all Edos to rally behind him to take Edo State back from the stranglehold of both the PDP and the APC and restart the hour clock of the state.
According to the Edo State pastor of Omega Fire Ministry led by Apostle Johnson Suleiman, both the rich and the poor should be on the same level if voted into power in September, in what appears to be a departure from mindless capitalism to moderate socialism.
He promised to restore the glory and prestige of Edo State, where everything is made surplus including electricity, food, job, security.
He promised not to lie to Edo people like some others “who promised 200 thousand jobs and failed to deliver”.

He pledged to create rice mill for rice producing areas in Ekpoma and Agenebode and will introduce Farms Vigilante to privide tight security for farmers in their farmlands to guarantee good security.
On health, Dr Azena promised to build one hospital per Ward, that is ensure there are at least 192 hospitals in Edo State in his first tenure.
On education, Dr Azena promised to implement free education to all poor people in Edo State. He promised to abolish fees in schools in Edo State.
On infrastructure, Dr Azena promised to fix the bad roads across the state in both rural and urban centres, in both capital city and non capital cities.
On security, Dr Azena vowed to end insecurity by securing both the cities and the forests of Edo State deploying the security votes in innovative and effective ways.
