Edo Professionals Reject Okpebholo

OpenLife Nigeria reports that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Edo State, Asue Ighodalo, on Wednesday received the full backing of leading activists, civil society groups, lawyers, journalists and political leaders from all parts of Edo State.

 

‘Asue Ighodalo is the best man for the job. We’re looking forward to his election’’ the professionals said.

They also described the APC governorship candidate as dull, cold and colourless.

‘Asue Ighodalo is serious minded, purposeful, people oriented and a leader that understands what governance is all about’’

At a meeting to share perspectives and strategies on how to ensure the victory of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, the professionals vowed to ensure the defeat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo in the September 21 governorship election.

 

‘’Asue Ighodalo’s election is certain. The road ahead is so smooth”

 

Edo State Professional spokesman and member of PDP Legacy Group, Mr. Humphrey Obanor, in a statement in Benin, said the professionals extolled the current governor of Edo State, Gowin Obaseki for building strong communities, generating growth and creating opportunities for the good people of Edo State.

 

‘Senator Monday Okpebholo is not travelling well in public opinion polls, largely due to incompetence. He lacks a clear policy plan. His political appeal remains limited’’

 

The professionals praised Obaseki for fulfilling electoral pledges made, building roads, expanding business development and empowering the people.

 

‘’ The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is very committed to the future of Edo State. Asue Ighodalo will make Edo State great’’.

 

They vowed to resist all attempts to drag Edo State backward by enemies of progress.

 

‘’Greed and envy have set in to becloud the sense of reasoning of some individuals in Edo State. Most people see the APC candidate and his running mate as not possessing the leadership character required to lead Edo State in this new age’’

 

The professionals scolded Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for assaulting the sensibility of the populace with mundane rhetoric.

 

They highlighted economic growth in rural communities, the welfare of workers in the state, investments in electricity, clean water and better health care.

 

They also emphasized a better educated, healthier and more prosperous Edo State.

 

‘’Nothing is more critical to our state’s future than urging the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to continue in Edo State’’

 

Asue Ighodalo is expected to cruise to victory in the September 21 governorship election.

 

‘’We care about results. Asue Ighodalo’s standing in the polls is, in fact, formidable. ’’
