The member representing Etsako West Constituency 2 in the Edo State House of Assembly, Gani Audu, has emerged as the running mate to the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Audu, a former Chairman of Etsako West Local Government Council of Edo State, was strategically unveiled on Saturday.
A source privy to the selection process, who spoke in confidence, disclosed that Audu was picked to neutralise the impact of Edo Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, who is from the area, since the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Godwin Obaseki, insists on vying with Shuaibu.
