Host: The former governor of Edo state, someone weh you work for his economic team, to offer your expertise and your experience, Adams Oshiomhole.

E tok say, ” Asue Ighodalo is not electable , he doesn’t understand the people, he doesn’t know Edo state. He can’t speak the language of his own village. Wetin go be your response to that?”

Ighodalo: You know say , Comrade old pass me , so I get to respect him age, so I respect him age, not only just that, you know say Comrade marry person weh relate to me for village before, so because of that i get to respect that too.

But those things weh he talk, IM himself know say those things weh he talk no correct, no be better thing he talk so. Me , I leave am , make I respect im age.

But I leave m, you know say sometimes the man dey talk before he think.

Ok, make I ask you one question?

I advise am for eight years for his economic team. If all those things weh he talk , if I no Sabi do them, how I dey his economic team for eight years?

Host: Been on the economic team different from governing the people

Ighodalo: na wetin I dey tell you , which work he do before him become Governor,na tailor he take start , I no talk say because Im be tailor, im no fit become governor.

So his experience for life na tailor, but im do governor, and nobody tell am say e no dey electable , me weh don head boards, I don run companies ,weh don employ ten thousand people, how he go talk say…. so me I no wan join issues with am.

Our experiences differ, me I be Board chairman, him be tailor but e con do states.. And he go talk say I no dey electable, no be people of Edo state go talk whether I dey electable or not. I dey with my people, I dey with my village people.

Im before he becomes governor, how many wards he go, me I don tour all the wards. This is my second or third time I dey tour all the ward…”

When people no get anything to take tell people say I go do dis thing, abeg vote for me, dem go dey take yab people.

Host: But you understand the language?

Ighodalo: Na language Dem dey take rule people? I understand enough, if we dey my village now dey talk, i go hear everything wey you dey talk, you no fit sell me, e no possible.

Ambrose Alli wey everybody dey shout say na good Governor, e no understand any language, Im name na Folorunsho, na for Yorubaland here e grow.

In a recent BBC Pidgin interview, Ighodalo responded to Oshiomhole’s comments questioning his electability and familiarity with the people and the state

Anyone referring to Oshiomhole as a Taylor is just DUMB because Oshiomhole worked as a senior staff of Nigeria textiles in Kaduna.

Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong in being a Taylor

EreluRoz:
Ighodalo will surely win because Edo people always vote ugly men as their governor

To win a governorship election in Edo state you must be very ugly else nothing for you.
