A former Students Union President of the University of Benin, Comrade Michael Oshiobugie, has declared his interest in contesting the 2024 Edo State governorship election on the platform of the Labour Party.
The engineer-turned-politician, who was at the secretariat of the party in Benin on Wednesday to formally make his interest known, said if allowed to govern the state, he would ensure no one was oppressed.
Oshiobugie, who led UNIBEN in 1996, assured that he has the required technology to bring about prosperity in Edo, adding that he has received immense training in the construction and oil industries while working in different parts of the world.

He said, “I have rich technical and engineering experience which I believe is required at this difficult time in our history. The state needs a man who can turn around the economy and I am the man to do that.
“As an engineer and governor of this state, it behoves me to use the skills I have acquired to ensure that we make gas available as much as possible because Edo has a rich gas deposit. Therefore, the technology to transform this gas, I have it, while other resources that can make the state strong will also be tapped into.”
Responding, the state chairman of the Labour Party, Kelly Ogbaloi, said, just like every other aspirant, the leadership of the party accepted Oshiobugie, particularly going by his resume, just as he wished him well.
