EDO CENTRAL PDP SPECIAL COMMITTEE ADJOURNS SCREENING OF ASPIRANTS; ORDIA, MARCUS SHELVE AMBITIONS – DECLARE SUPPORT FOR ASUE IGHODALO


The Edo Central People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Special Committee has adjourned the screening of the governorship aspirants from the Senatorial zone, originally scheduled for today, to Wednesday, January 10, 2024. This decision was reached during the committee’s meeting, which took place on Saturday at the Igueben residence of the National leader, High Chief, Tom Ikimi.

Among the aspirants present at the meeting were Barrister Anselm Ojiezua, Senator Clifford Ordia, Honorable John Yakubu, Ambassador Martins Uhomoibhi, and Barrister Asue Ighodalo.

In a press statement signed by the Publicity Secretary, AMB. Tony Okonigene, ANIVS, RSV, High Chief Tom Ikimi, the Chairman of the Special Committee, expressed his appreciation to the aspirants for their dedication to the party and the Esan people. He also read a letter from one of the aspirants, Right Honorable Marcus Onobun, who informed the committee that he had decided to suspend his aspiration and support Barrister Asue Ighodalo instead. It was noted that another aspirant, Honorable Felix Akhabue, also known as Joefel, was absent from the meeting without providing any communication to the committee.

The Chairman then requested the present aspirants to address the committee regarding the outcomes of their further consultations. Barrister Anselm Ojiezua stated that he was still in the process of consulting and was awaiting the committee’s decision. Honorable John Yakubu expressed his willingness to submit himself to the committee’s conclusion.

Senator Clifford Ordia emphasized the need for personal sacrifices in the interest of the party and then surprised the assembly when he suddenly announced his decision to withdraw from the race and support Barrister Asue Ighodalo.

The endorsement of Barr. Ighodalo by Hon. Onobun and Sen. Odia brings to four the number of Edo Central PDP governorship aspirants who have chosen to step down in favor of Ighodalo, a development that significantly bolsters his chances ahead of the PDP’s primaries scheduled for February 3rd. Rt. Hon. Friday Itulah and Hon. Kenneth Ahbulimen had a couple of days earlier announced their withdrawals from the race and had also pledged to support to Barr. Ighodalo.

Barrister Asue Ighodalo thanked Hon. Marcus and Sen. Odia for their endorsements; commended the Committee for their personal sacrifices and pledged his continued alignment with them and whatever decision they arrive at.

Barr. Asue Ighodalo, a banker, lawyer, and former chairman of Sterling Bank and Nigerian Breweries, is fast becoming the leading PDP guber aspirant as his campaign gathers popular support within his party; despite joining active politics fairly recently.

Ighodalo is set to officially flag off his campaign on the 12th of January, 2024.

As long as the PDP and the LP,, and even including the APC are heading towards this up-coming February Bye-Elections like as if everything are still like on a normal-levels,, then all of them should just gettouuwwtt and get lost..


Like Seriously....
If you guys have not already set-up “high-powered situation-rooms for yourselves which are equipped with robust digitized parallel-collation-systems which are working totally independent of the INEC’s Database and Data Source” -- for this upcoming FEBRUARY Bye-Elections, then you are not ready for the elections yet.

And it means that you all should get lost.!!
We have no emotions to waste here any longer.!!

Let them cheat you guys again as usual.
You guys saw everything coming.
Yet you did practically nothing.
And you just want to fan up fake emotions and sympathy.

MAKE UNA GET LOST ABBEGG.!!

Nice one.

His stellar records aside, I personally feel the next governor of Edo state should come from Edo central for reasons bordering on equity.

I like that he's fast becoming the Esan consensus candidate.
I also like that he's not a seasoned politician.

Nigeria will be better if we manage to phase out these old hands that have held us down over the years.

I hope a million other Esan men don't spring up in hundred other parties to reduce his chances.
Dem sabi do that thing wella. wink
