Government is the custodian of our<br \/>\ncommonwealth. So anybody with such passion like mine must be in government<br \/>\nso that our commonwealth is used for the good of more people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He promised that he would make a better job of governing the state if<br \/>\ngiven the mandate, assuring voters in the state that their votes would<br \/>\ncount if they turn out en masse early on Election Day to be accredited and<br \/>\ncast their votes for him.<\/p>\n<p>END<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has again appealed to eligible voters in the state to vote for the PDP in the September&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
