Members of Edo South Vanguard for Justice and Equity, have thrown their weight and support for the frontline aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2024 gubernatorial election in the State, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, describing him as the best, fit and most qualified to be the State’s next helmsman.
Speaking to journalists on behalf of the group during a press conference in Benin City, Joy Osareimen from Oredo Local Government Area, said the group resolved to endorse Ighodalo based on his antecedent, credibility, pedigree and unalloyed commitment to the development of the State and its people, as well as in the spirit of fairness, justice and equity.
According to the group, “As we take our time to critically consider the socio-political history of the State since the beginning of the current democratic dispensation in 1999 and we arrived on the equitable resolution that it’s fair that Edo Central is allowed to govern the State in 2024.
“After a search and study of all the aspirants coming into the race, we have concluded that for Edo State to experience a more peaceful coexistence, unity and brotherhood among all the ethnic nationalities in the State, we must respect the doctrine of fairness, equity, justice, equality and diversity and give Edo Central the opportunity to produce the next governor.
“We call on all the good people of Edo South to support our son, Governor Obaseki who made a promise to the State in 2020 that in the spirit of equity and fairness, he would ensure that Edo Central produces the next governor. It is our responsibility to support him to achieve this noble course,” the group added.
