“As edolites file out to elect their governor come September, 2024, two options are before them. They will choose between a man that Is ready to lead like Dr. Asue Ighodalo or settle for a mediocre with barely any education or exposure to his name, nor any pedigree and who brings nothing to the table and who has gone missing in action, hiding from the people he wants to lead. As a people, we have seen what it means to enthrone a half baked mediocre. The people of Edo State will surely choose competence and capacity to deliver.
