The team led by the State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, urged the people of the LGAs to come out in their numbers on September 21 to vote for the party and its candidate and be rest assured that their votes will count.

Presenting the party’s candidate and his deputy, Osarodion Ogie Esq., to the people at Olua Primary School in Egor LGA, Obaseki said the party is presenting the best candidate for the election with the competence, pedigree, and experience to move the State forward, noting that a vote for the party is a vote for the progress and prosperity of the State.

He said, “This election is very important to us because it will determine whether the State wants to move forward or backward. We believe in continuity and Asue Ighodalo will continue where we will stop.

“Asue is for the youths. He employed over 80 percent of youths to work for him in his chamber. He is for the young people, he loves the youth and young people. He has spent all his time supporting the youth.”

Noting that Ighodalo will continue from where his government stops, the governor stated, “We have constructed a lot of roads in Egor LGA, including the Evbuotubu Road which is still under construction. Asue Ighodalo will finish what we can’t finish as no one administration can finish the work. Edo is in safe hands with Asue Ighodalo as governor of Edo State.”

On his part, Ighodalo said if elected, his government will focus on technology, culture, tourism, agriculture, and sports, among others to drive economic growth and prosperity in Edo State.

He stated, “We would work to show leadership that loves its people and improves their lives for the better. Prosperity and growth is sure when PDP continues in office.”

Canvassing votes at the Western Boys High School in Ikpoba-Okha LGA, the governor who thanked the people for their support for his government in the last eight years, urged them to come out en masse and vote for the party and its candidate, reassuring them that their votes will count.

He said, “Come out en masse to vote for the PDP and its candidates, Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie. Come out to vote and you will be protected and your votes will count and be protected.”

Obaseki added, “I thank the people of Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area for their support over the years. I have constructed Lucky Way, St. Saviour Road, and many other roads in the council area. The design of this Brewery Road to Sapele Road is ready for construction. We can’t finish everything as a government but Asue Ighodalo will complete what we can’t finish.

“We have established a Modular Refinery, Ethanol Factory, Benin Industrial Park, Ossiomo Park, and others. This is just the beginning as Asue Ighodalo will continue from where we will stop and take us to progress and prosperity.

“APC says they will use federal might but when people come out en masse to vote, there is nothing federal might can do to stop us from achieving victory.”

Also, Ighodalo assured to drive growth and development in the area, noting, “I call on you people to vote and defend your vote as I assure you today that when we become governor and Deputy Governor, our focus will be to develop the State and make life better for Edo people.”

On his part, Osarodion Ogie stated the APC has brought nothing but hardship and suffering to the people adding that, “APC is buying guns to kill us. If they love the people they will not do that. Let the people speak with one voice and vote for the PDP, rejecting APC that has brought us hardship in Nigeria.”

Receiving over 300 decampees from APC, LP, ANPP and other parties, the State Chairman of the Party, Anthony Aziegbemi has charged the people of Ikpoba-Okha to come out en masse to ensure that the party wins the landslide.
