Ex-PENGASSAN president joins Edo gov race

A former National President, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Mr. Peter Esele, has said that modern governance thrives on research and ideas.


Esele, who is also a former President, Trade Union Congress, said this at a news conference in Benin, on Thursday, when he declared his intention to contest the Edo State governorship on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.


Hinging his campaign on the development of education, agriculture and culture, Esele explained that government must give adequate financial attention to primary education, which he described as a component in nurturing future leaders.


He said that if elected, his administration would create opportunities for higher institutions in Edo to adopt competitive research with a grant of N100m each.


Esele said, “A good leader looks out for opportunities. Nigerians need to change the mindset that says everything about Western culture is good and everything about Nigerian culture is bad.”
