He ⁠says he is in the race to bring prosperity to Edolites and transform Edo from a third world economy to a first world sub-national.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship candidate in the forthcoming Edo State Governorship election Dr. Asue Ighodalo, congratulated the governorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP) Senator Monday Okpebholo and Barr. Olumide Akpata on their emergence as flag bearers for their respective Parties; urging them to join him in a commitment to focus on issue-based campaigns ahead of the 2023 Governorship election.



Dr. Ighodalo restated his firm belief that Edo’s strength was the unity of her people; and he appealed to all candidates to refrain from campaigning with messages that promote division and disunity. “The February 2023 general elections saw a level of hate and vitriol masked as political sloganeering that took this nation to the brink; and the fires politicians lit back then continue to smoulder across the nation. I and my team will continue to campaign to the people of Edo State in language and behaviour that seeks to unite rather than divide. We will stay focused on the issues that matter to our people; and there will be no descent into abuse, ethnic-baiting and name-calling. We must not destroy the unity of the State we seek to govern. I therefore urge all my fellow candidates to similarly run respectful issue-based campaigns.” he said.

Dr. Asue Ighodalo, who expressed concern over the level of economic hardship people were going through, stated that he and his team of young professionals and politicians have indentified a pathway to the lifting of millions of citizens into prosperity. “We intend to open up the state by reducing insecurity, and by securing the financing and attracting the private sector investors needed to build our intrastate roads; I, working with my team, will grow the economy of the state, create jobs, and provide a better life for our people.”

Dr. Ighodalo emerged as the winner of the PDP Governorship primaries conducted at the lawn tennis court inside the Ogbe Stadium sports complex, on Thursday the 22nd of February, 2024.

Friendly enemies

Asue Ighodalo and Olumide Akpatal are both Obaseki"s candidates ...know this and know peace.
Obaseki is financing both of them

Obaseki is playing a chess game.

Ize Iyamu/Luck Imaseun camp are insisting on Ize Iyamu becoming Deputy Governorship candidate to APC Governorship candidate Monday Okpebholo.
Oshiomole camp will play spoiler in Edo North, if Ize Iaymu

ItisWell22:
2 legal heavyweights! 🔥



Especially Ighodalo and Akpata. 🤧

AllTheWayUp:
[b]Imaseun camp produces the Deputy Governor for APC.
Ize Iyamu's camp are insisting the delivered the Governorship ticket to Monday Okpebholo , while Oshiomhole camp are insisting on Denco be compensated with the Deputy Governorship candidate slot since he won the cancelled Election

The big Elephant in the room is and PDP joker for Edo South votes is Osarodion Ogie the current SSG of Edo state Government, at moment he is the strongest Politician in Edo South (Benin) no politician in Edo South at the moment come next to him , he is a full grassroots man in Benin and the full Edo south , Osarodion Ogie's camp delivered all local governments in Edo South including Ize Iyamu's local government to Obaseki in the last Edo State Governorship election.
Osarodion Ogie will be the Deputy Governorship candidate to Asue Ighodalo that is guaranteed over 60% of Edo South Votes in the Governorship election for PDP....
Monday Okpebholo of APC is in dilemma on whose camp ( whether from Ize/Iyamu camp or Oshiomhole) to pick his deputy candidate from.

All these confused APC zombies Fool wey no dey stay Edo state and don't understand the politics and realignment going on in Edo state right now, go dey argue Edo state politics with we wey dey reside full time for benin....continue living in illusion
You will come back to eat your word ,when realignment begins.
For ur information Oshiomhole men have stared distancing themselves from the new APC candidate

I repeat again no politician in Edo South can match or stop OSARODION OGIE from delivering at leat 60% of Edo South Votes for PDP like he did for Obaseki when Obaeki won relection, Ize Iyamu till today still don't understand t how Osarodion Ogie Camp delivered Ize Iyamu's local government for Obaseki in the last Governorship election. come to benin and ask questions and stop posting ignorant thrash from outside Edo.
Mention any politician in Edo South that APC can field as deputy Governor that can match Osarodion Ogie...we are waiting for the person name..

Is like they have complete the rigging agreement for this man because I don’t understand his confidence. The incumbent governor support is driving him crazy,maybe we should remind him of the deputy governor sha……
Shuaibu is underrated while obaseki is overrated.
