Chief Lucky Imasuen Withdraws from APC’s Gubernatorial Primary Election

In a stunning turn of events, the former Edo Deputy Governor, Chief Lucky Imasuen, has withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship direct primary election, which is taking place today.

This news comes just hours after Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu also announced his withdrawal from the race.

According to The Nation Newspaper, the former Deputy Governor made this decision in the early hours of February 17, 2024, at 7:34 AM PST.

The primary election is set to determine the party’s candidate for the upcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State, Nigeria.

Chief Lucky Imasuen, who served as Deputy Governor during the administration of Governor Lucky Igbinedion, has been a prominent figure in Edo State politics for many years.

His withdrawal from the primary election has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, leaving many to speculate about the reasons behind his decision.

Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, another prominent politician from Edo State, also withdrew from the primary election earlier today.

Both Imasuen and Ize-Iyamu were considered strong contenders for the APC’s gubernatorial ticket, and their withdrawal has significantly altered the dynamics of the race.

As the primary election unfolds today, the political future of Edo State remains uncertain. The outcome of this primary election will have a significant impact on the upcoming gubernatorial election and could potentially shape the state’s political landscape for years to come.
