The Edo State governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Asue Ighodalo, said his priority, if elected governor would be to introduce policies and programmes that would aggressively eradicate poverty and hardship from the state.

Flagging off his wad-to-ward campaign at Ugbogui and Usen wards in Ovia South-West local government area of the state on Thursday, Ighodalo said a vote for him represents all-round development and progress, hence the people should vote him as their next governor.
According to him, “So, our message to the people is that by the grace of God Almighty, when we enter government again by November, we are going to improve the welfare and living conditions of our people. We are going to eradicate poverty and hardship brought upon the people by the All-Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government through the introduction of policies and programmes that would aggressively eradicate poverty in Edo. So, go to your various polling units on September 21 and vote en masse for the PDP and ensure you protect your votes afterwards”.
Addressing the people also, the deputy governorship candidate of the PDP, and secretary to the state government, Osarodion Ogie, said: “They (opposition party) said they want to serve the people in the state, yet they don’t want to appear before the people and talk to them. They want to work for the people, yet they don’t want to be interviewed by the people. So, vote for us as we mean well for the state and the well-being of the people”, adding that their administration will be people-centric if elected as governor and deputy governor of Edo State.
Canvassing for the votes of the people of Siluko and Umaza Wards, Ighodalo assured them that issue of security in the locality would be given paramount attention by his administration. He said, “The security of these two Wards (Siluko and Umaza Communities) is of importance to us, and we will restore the security back to the people”. The campaign train later moved to Iguobazuwa wards.
