Ahead of the 2024 Edo gubernatorial election, a group under the aegis of Asue/Ogie Movement has described the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Asue Ighodalo as the best candidate for gubernatorial election.
The deputy diaspora head of the group, Nosakhare Onaiwi in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday said, Asue is the only candidate that has engaged the people of Edo both in Nigeria and diaspora.
“There are close to 20 candidates seeking the mandate to occupy the Osadebe House in Edo State, but one candidate stands out. One candidate has apparently engaged the Edo People at home the most. That candidate has transversed Edo South, Edo North and Edo Central talking to the people and selling his vision for Edo State to the people. And that candidate is Dr. Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party”.
“Asue Ighodalo spoke with passion and commitment, he showed a matchless grasp of the issues that define the Edo tapestry, he covenanted to deliver on the promises enshrined in his PROSPERITY FOR ALL Manifesto. He assured and reassured the people that himself and his Deputy Governorship Candidate OSARODION OGIE Esq. will not only get the Job done, but will make Edo State the envy of other States in Nigeria”.
“As a Business Expert, a Former Chairman of Several Bluechip Companies, and the immediate past Chairman of Sterling Bank, Asue Ighodalo assured the Edo Diaspora Community that he is not in the race for private/personal wealth or profit, but to transform Edo State for good.
“He promised to bring his intellectual wealth, his expertise and capacity to bear in the day to day running of the State. And he challenged the people to critique his PROSPERITY FOR ALL Manifesto stating that his dream for Edo State is to create a First Class State that appropriates her wealth both human and natural for the collective good”.
The group however reiterated that Asue Ighodalo is most competent out of the 20 candidates vying for the governorship position in Edo.
