By Osageduwa Osaretin

Imasuangbon has remained consistent in his quest to govern Edo State for several years now and had never faltered in this regard even with the betrayals that tend to greet his ambition.

In other times, the man popularly referred to as the “Riceman” displayed maturity and loyalty by succumbing to pressure from his party to step down for reasons that are always advanced by the party.

The philanthropist had made his intention known all this times that his coming out was not to make up the number, nor negotiate for political opportunities.

In the 2020 governorship election, incidentally, Imasuangbon was again prevailed upon to jettison his governorship ambition to pave way for the emergency of Governor Godwin Obaseki following his running battle with his former party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
