I will become Nigeria’s FIRST elected female governor, Omosede Igbinedion says as she picks up PDP form for Edo 2024 race
A former member of the House of Representatives, Barrister Omosede Gabriella Igbinedion has picked the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ahead of the 21 September gubernatorial election in Edo State.
Omosede is a younger sister to a former governor of the state, Lucky Igbinedion.
She’s also the first governorship aspirant to purchase and collect the forms to contest the Edo elections.
Popularly known as ‘Lady Governor’, Omosede while picking up the form, promised to transform the state and also said, she would become Nigeria’s first elected female Governor after the September 21 poll.
She said, “We came to purchase this form to show that we are serious about the contest.
“Our plan to win the party primary is on course. We are not perturbed about the endorsement of any aspirant. Members of Edo PDP know me and I know them.
“I do not believe the Governor has endorsed any aspirant. If there is anybody to be endorsed, I believe it will be me because of my antecedent and records of performance in last year’s general election.
“I gave the PDP the best result in Edo South senatorial district. I am focused on what I want to do for the Edo people. I represent the women and the youths, Edo will make history if I am elected Governor. I have the largest support base, which is the women and the youth.
“We have been with the people and they know us. We are in this race to win. Edo needs a Governor that will speed up development for jobs and wealth creation.
“Our purpose in governance is to lift people. We will build infrastructure, we will build secondary schools and create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.”
