Asue Ighodalo
By Jimmy Enyeh
The Campaign billboards of Edo State Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant and former chairman of Sterling Bank Asue Ighodalo, literally litter the city Benin and its environs.
The Billboard dwarfed that of other PDP aspirants jostling for the party ticket.
NATIONAL WAVES publisher, Jimmy Enyeh, who was in Benin for two days could not hold back his views at the development that he asked some PDP stalwarts in the state if the primary was a ‘one man show’
As if that is not not enough to show that Ighodalo has warmed his way into the hearts of those that matter in Edo PDP, the leaders of the PDP in Edo North and Central Districts recently adopted him as their preferred governorship aspirant ahead of party primary.
There is no gain saying that Mr Igodalo, a Lagos-based lawyer is Governor Godwin Obaseki‘s preferred successor.
The PDP Edo Central caucus held meeting last Thursday at Uromi and adopted Ighodalo
Members of the PDP Central senatorial district after the meeting issued a statement that was jointly signed by its Chairperson, Anthony Okosun, Secretary, Luckson Ogedegbe as well as the Legal Adviser, Paul Itua.
“The caucus in accordance with its functions as spelt out in Section 20 (2), considered the report of Edo Central PDP Special Committee chaired by the National Leader, High Chief Tom Ikimi,” the statement read.
“The following resolutions were adopted: The Senatorial Caucus accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee and adopted Barrister Asue Ighodalo, as the consensus aspirant of the PDP from Edo Central Senatorial District.
“The Senatorial Caucus noted that the adoption of Barrister Asue Ighodalo is without prejudice to the right of any other aspirant to pursue his or her aspiration.”
