The Edo state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate for the September 21, 2024 election in Edo, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, on Wednesday, said he was committed to transforming the state and surpassing the achievements of the outgoing Governor Godwin Obaseki if voted into power.
He gave the assurance while addressing party supporters who thronged the Benin Airport to welcome him back from Abuja.
Recall that Asue Ighodalo who was recently nominated as PDP candidate in a primary election many judged to be transparent, free and fair was on Tuesday in Abuja given a certificate of return by the party’s National leadership.
The immediate past Board Chairman, Nigerian Breweries and Sterling Bank, assured that his administration “if elected will commence work from where Governor Godwin Obaseki would stop and even do more for the people.”
He maintained that having been given the PDP return certificate, the real work has commenced and appealed to the people to help support his ambition.
He said: “I want to thank you all for this show of love and support, because if not you people, we wouldn’t be where we are now.
“This is the time for the real work to commence and by the grace of God, we are going to work hard in order to achieve our target.
“Where Governor will stop in terms of development, we are going to continue from there and even do more”, he assured.
