Edo: Ambrose Alli’s Son, Andrew Endorses Asue Ighodalo by ogugwa1992(op): 7:28am On Sep 17, 2024
**Ambrose Alli’s son, Andrew Alli Endorses Dr. Asue Ighodalo for Edo Governorship**



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62d0IfHAY9k?si=oY743irALpaj9PIS

In a significant boost to his campaign, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, a top contender for the governorship of Edo State, has received the endorsement of Andrew Alli, a former Chief Executive Officer of Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and son of the late Prof. Ambrose Alli, who is widely regarded as one of Edo State’s most impactful governors.

Andrew Alli, a seasoned finance professional with over three decades of experience in African infrastructure and energy projects, expressed his support for Ighodalo, citing their long-standing personal and professional relationship. “I’ve known Dr. Ighodalo for several decades as a person of integrity,” Alli remarked. “He cares about Edo State and wants to give back. There are other good candidates, but overall, Asue is the best, and that’s why I’m endorsing him today.”

This endorsement carries historical significance. In a twist of fate, Dr. Ighodalo’s father Jeremiah Ighodalo stepped down for Prof. Ambrose Alli during the UPN governorship primaries 45 years ago, paving the way for the elder Alli’s remarkable tenure as governor. Now, the younger Alli’s support for Ighodalo adds a layer of serendipity to the ongoing race, underscoring the deep historical ties between the two families.

Andrew Alli’s endorsement comes just a day after internationally renowned musician Davido voiced his support for Dr. Ighodalo. The superstar, who has millions of fans worldwide, added celebrity clout to the growing list of high-profile endorsements for Ighodalo. Political figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have also thrown their weight behind the candidate, further strengthening his campaign.

Dr. Ighodalo’s momentum continues to build, with recent polls by **BusinessDay** and the **African Polling Institute** placing him ahead of his competitors in the lead-up to the Edo State gubernatorial election on September 21, 2024. Analysts believe that with endorsements from public figures across entertainment, business, and politics, his chances of clinching the governorship are becoming increasingly favorable; and opine that it it highly unlikely that any other candidate will be able to close the widening gap between Ashe Ighodalo and the rest of the field.

Andrew Alli’s endorsement is expected to carry substantial weight. As the former head of Africa Finance Corporation, Alli oversaw $4.5 billion in investments across the continent, financing critical infrastructure projects. His expertise in finance, coupled with his commitment to Edo State’s development, makes his support a major vote of confidence in Ighodalo’s leadership abilities.

If you see the dilapidated state of Ambrose Alli's house in Ekpoma, you won't know he has a son who can endorse anyone.

He's a seasoned finance professional and probably over 60yrs of age but still lives under the shadow of his father Ambrose Ali who died millions of years ago.

Hey Andrew, it's been a while I heard from him. That's the son of the iconic Prof. Ambrose Folorunso Alli, the former civilian Governor of Old Bendel State [now Edo and Delta States] under the Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo-led Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) from 1979 to 1983. Ambrose Folorunso Alli's father was an Esan-Edo and mother was from Ido Ani in Ondo State. The UPN was a darling of the Old Bendel State back in the day because of the intentional style of governance.

All of the top 3 contenders have their obvious "strenghts and weaknesses." May the better man win the 2024 governorship elections in Edo State.

Edo people, that's a glowing endorsement o grin

By the way, it's extremely hard for the children of great men to fill their shoes.

This niggah go abroad go get foreign accent. His endorsement doesn't mean shiit. Wouldn't get pass 1 vote ( his own). His own wife and children might not even be persuaded. grin

Ighodalo is likely to win.

But I have no bone to pick, totally neutral.

Seems PDP has best candidate, LP too is okay but APC chose a mediocre candidate. Up to you, Edo folks - vote the ugliest as per stereotype on Nairaland.

But remember " Edo no be Lagos" didn't pan out well the other time...

How is he living under the shadow of his father? Is it the shadow of his father that placed him the current position he occupied in AFC?

Inconsequential. Who the hell is Ambrose Alli son? Who cares? I fully support Ighodalo but I hate hearing all these inconsequentials coming out talking I endorsed this I endorsed that bullshit.

The fact that he still has to be described as Ambrose Ali's son in order for people to recognise him. And the fact that most of us won't have bothered to open the thread if Ambrose Ali wasn't mentioned. And the fact that his "endorsement" wouldn't have meant shit to PDP if not for the good name of his father.
