Olumide Akpata: ''I Am Funding My Self, I Am Not Answerable To Any Godfather''
Mr Akpata said this in an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” programme on Thursday.
According to him, Edo people can trust the Labour Party because they are only answerable to it.
“I have no strings attached. I am not answerable to any godfather. I am not answerable to any political benefactor.
“That is one reason they (Edo people) can trust the Labour Party government because we are answerable to the people,” he said.
Akpata said unlike other candidates attached to former and serving governors, he is not answerable to any political godfather.
The LP candidate also said his campaign is not funded by Governor Godwin Obaseki whose anointed candidate is PDP’s Ighodalo.
“Initially, I was said to be the agent of Governor Obaseki, we were able to debunk that. Today, I was said to be sponsored by the APC. I think it is conspiracy theorising that is most stupid.
“I am funding myself and I have friends who believe in me and that we can do much better in Edo,” he said.
