Edema who said he was the returning officer of the late Akeredolu during the primary that brought him as candidate of APC in 2016 and had remained with him, said he had understudied his policies and programmes for the people of the state.

The former chairman of the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (OSOPADEC), asserted that he is the best aspirant to drive the developmental goals of the state.

In a live television programme monitored by LEADERSHIP in Akure, the state capital, the former House of Assembly member said over the last three years, opinion and political leaders had approached him to contest in the November 16, 2024 governorship election in a bid to sustain the legacies of the late Akeredolu.

According to him, his willingness to put himself forward to contest came after he consulted with Akeredolu fin February 2023, before his demise and he (Akeredolu) was not indifferent to the yearnings of many who already believed in what the state stands to gain if given the nod at the poll to govern.

Edema said his coming out to contest was borne out of desire to ensure that the state continues on the path of development charted by late former Governor Akeredolu which it still in infancy, and to bring to bear his wealth of experience to drive the state to greater heights.

He pointed to his successes while serving as OSOPADEC chairman, where he created an investment arm of the commission to drive in revenue rather than waiting for allocations from oil revenue from the government.
