Edo 2024: Hundreds Dump APC For PDP Ahead Of Sept 21 Guber Poll

Ahead of the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday continued its campaign across Edo North through Fugar in Etsako Central and Agbede in Etsako West with hundreds of members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) dumping the party and joined the PDP Governor Obaseki, who expressed satisfaction at the massive turnout, said that “I have never seen this type of crowd in all the places we have visited.”

“I want to thank you all for this massive turnout even when they say Etsako Central is one of the smallest local government areas in the state, but you people still have this large crowd,” he stated.

The governor also commended them for coming out during the continuous voters’ registration exercise in the state, thereby increasing the voting strength of Etsako Central, saying there is a gas pipeline that passes through Etsako Central and Asue Ighodalo, the PDP governorship candidate has a plan to utilise the gas pipeline to generate electricity for the people.

He, however, described Ighodalo as a “Chief Master Planner,” adding that “he has the best plans to take Edo State further into progress and prosperity.”

In his remarks, Ighodalo commended the Governor Obaseki-led administration for the improvement in the education system, workers’ welfare, infrastructure, health and others and promised to build on what is already on the ground.
