Obaseki, who spoke to a mammoth crowd of party faithful and supporters in the two local councils, said the party’s candidate is the best and most credible of all other candidates for the election and a vote for the party is a guarantee for progressive growth and development in the State.

At Agenebode, Etsako East Local Government Area of the State, the governor said, “Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie will put good policies on ground to come to the rescue and liberate the State. No matter the economic challenges in Nigeria, Asue Ighodalo is the answer. We are parading the best; the most credible, intelligent and experienced candidates in this election.

“Ighodalo has love for the young people and is ready to make life meaningful for them through his governorship aspiration. We need continuity in Edo State and not retrogression.”

The governor, in Fugar, Etsako Central thanked the people for coming out enmasse during the continuous voters’ registration exercise and registering about 7,500 new voters across the 10 wards in Fugar, urging them to put the same energy during the polls to ensure the party’s victory on September 21.

He said, “The youths in this locality are vibrant in this election as more youths have registered to vote in this governorship election. We have a 30-year master plan and it’s only Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie that can continue with our developmental plan for the State.”

Ighodalo, who thanked the people of Agenebode for the large turnout, pledging to pursue more programmes and projects to open up the area for economic growth and development.

“Illushi, Agenebode, River Niger is a platform to prosper the people of the area and State. We have enough resources in the area to ensure we don’t suffer or share in the economic hardship created by the APC government at the centre, making life difficult for Edo people.”

At Fugar, Ighodalo said, “The APC has impoverished our people but Obaseki has done so much to liberate us and set us on the path of progress, prosperity, growth and development,” reassuring us to continue on the progressive foundation laid by the incumbent government.
