…..Pleads with other aspirants to reconcile, support the party’s candidate
Former vice president and the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has thrown his weight behind the candidacy of Dr Asue Ighodalo for the Edo State Governorship Election.
Dr Ighodalo recently emerged victorious in the PDP primary election and has since been given the Certificate of Returns by the party.
Atiku in a post on his verified Account on Saturday night @atiku, said the emergence of Dr Ighodalo, whom he described as a “thorough bred technocrat” suggests that the PDP was mindful of ensuring that the candidate of the party is “a round peg in a round hole”.
He applauded the state’s PDP leadership for being able to produce such a high quality candidate and pleaded with the rest aggrieved aspirants to support the party’s candidate.
The full post reads:
” The election of a thorough bred technocrat by the PDP as the party’s candidate in Edo State signposts the urgency that the PDP gives to ensuring that the next governor of Edo State is a round peg in a round hole.
The PDP leadership and members in Edo State must be congratulated also, for an amazing primary election that produced the quality of candidate to fly the flag of our party in the upcoming election.
The party has made a choice, and it is not in dispute that the choice is a good one.
It is, therefore, on this note that I plead with all other aspirants and aggrieved stakeholders to reconcile and negotiate to make sure that Edo remains a PDP state.
Dr @Aighodalo, apart from being a brilliant mind, in whose hands the affairs of Edo State will steer on stable waters, is also a fine gentleman.
I believe that our candidate has what it takes to bring everyone willing to work for the interest of the PDP under the huge umbrella of our party. -AA”
