Birthday Message to Asue Ighodalo, AI “The Man Wey Sabi”
On behalf of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Edo State Chapter, we extend our heartfelt birthday wishes to a man of uncommon intellect, character, and capacity — Barr. Asue Ighodalo, our gubernatorial candidate and the people’s choice in the last governorship election.
Today, we celebrate not just the birth of a man, but the emergence of a symbol of hope, integrity, and excellence in public service. You are fondly called “The Man Wey Sabi” not by chance, but because you embody competence, vision, and purpose.
Though the mandate freely given to you by the good people of Edo State was brazenly snatched, the truth remains etched in the hearts of our citizens — you won, and history will vindicate you.
As you mark another year, may you find strength, grace, and renewed courage to continue to stand firm for justice, democracy, and the collective will of our people. We are proud of you, we stand with you, and we believe in the brighter tomorrow you represent.
Happy Birthday
Signed:
Chris Osa Nehikhare
Publicity Secretary, PDP Edo State Caretaker Committee
