With just few weeks to the much awaited PDP primaries for Edo state, and various sons and daughters of our dear staggering up to throw their hats into the fray for the ruling party ticket, the need to remind stakeholders of the duty to usher in the right candidate for the forthcoming main election in November, 2024 cannot be over emphasized.
The Asue Ighodalo factor comes vividly into play here!!
Dr. Asue Ighodalo is an Edo son, a seasoned lawyer, irrespective of his origin being Ewohimi, Esan south L.G.A , he is fully Edo with ties in all the tribes that constitute our dear state.
His role over the past years as chairman of the excellent Sterling Bank, Chairman of Nigerian Breweries, Director of the Nigerian Soveriegn Investment Authrority and chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group points to one direction… FINANCE, DEVELOPMENT and PROGRESS that our Edo state needs.
A man like this with immense leadership and professional work experiences within a span of 4 decades in the contentious working sphere of Nigeria, showcases one that can face the immense socio-political and economic development that Edo state faces from the inability and poor governance of past administraions since 1999.
Edo professionals and good governance monitors North America Chapter is willing to draw immense investment and financial support for the state, driving investments that will spur the economy of the state to immense productivity, but will do so only with Asue Ighodalo at the helm of affairs, because we can only trust our ideas, initiatives, financial and material resources with a man that has seen it all and achieved it all in the working private sector of Nigeria.
Asue Ighodalo’s leadership would usher in international investments and support that would churn in development and boost youth empowerment within a short period of time.
Members of this group who are in their thousands, hold dual citizenship with Nigeria and are all registered to vote in Nigeria, are mobilizing to come into the state in November to cast thier votes for the PDP, with the hope that the PDP would ensure her delegates vote for Asue Ighodalo in the coming Primaries next month.
This action, the first of its kind over the years is driven by the sole fact and believe that, Dr. Asue Ighodalo would offer unblemished and quality leadership, alongside a strong team to propel our dear Edo state unto a defined future where youth employment, societal prosperity, inclusive governance and social welfare would be the hallmark of his government and felt by every single indigine and citizen of Edo state.
We urge the PDP national working committee and ALL delegates to fall in line behind all men and women of good conscience and vote Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the PDP Gubernatorial candidate in February 2024 during the party primaries.
God bless, the PDP, God bless Edo state, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
