Asue Ighodalo: best foot forward to govern modern Edo

Today's Edo can best be described as a beautiful bride in the wait for a perfect man; she is the star of the moment, shining brighter than any diamond, and her beauty is the type that cannot be sacrificed on the altar of the toga of marriage, but to the most perfect man who can compliment her beauty and keep her on the radar of public admiration.

Edo is bustling with enthusiasm, ready to be tapped into for significant economic advancement.

The State has witnessed sizable reforms in recent times, her people getting greatly exposed, her infrastructure growing and her economic base gaining grounds by the day; the Obaseki-led administration has set the tone for improved conversation on the development of Edo State.

This conversation must be seen to be forward-driven, capable of addressing the yearnings and aspirations of Edo people.

Without doubt, the 8-year journey of the Governor Godwin Obaseki will meet the finish line this November, the development of Edo cannot be said to end with the hard working Governor, hence the need to get that perfectionist who can take Edo to the next level post-Obaseki.

Asue Ighodalo stands tall in the whole governorship arrangement, he alone bears the torch to keep Edo on the radar of public admiration, considering the various initiatives his administration stands to garner.

On infrastructure, Ighodalo has pledged to make Edo a cynosure of all eyes, building infrastructure with aesthetic designs capable of competing with global trends; on economy, Ighodalo has said he will make Edo a first world economy; on youth development, the PDP Candidate, who parades a number of youths in his train has promised to develop policies, programmes aimed at prospering majority Edo youths once on board.

Asue Ighodalo, a renowned player in the business community, principal contributor to the gains of the current administration, possessing award-winning economic blueprints set to drive Edo on prosperity path; having played significant policy role in Edo State governments since 2008, he best understands the challenges, he knows the people, familiar with the terrain and possesses contemporary solutions to the ever-increasing socio-economic and political demands of Edo State.

The PDP deserves commendation for putting its best foot forward, exploring the individual ability of its aspirants, and further producing the most competent, with unblemished character and unwavering capacity to drive Edo along the path of development—Asue Ighodalo.

From community to community, ward to ward, LGA to LGA, there are recorded interventions by the Obaseki-led administration, these narratives deserves to be sustained, built on, further expanding the frontiers for advanced development of Edo State and considering the contemporary developmental demands and the need to continue to improve our State's economic potentialities, Asue Ighodalo stands in the gap, ranking as the best foot forward to govern a modern Edo.

Consequently, in today's Edo, we owe it a sacrosanct duty to employ one of our best in 2024, to now direct the affairs of our dear State, steering the corporate existence of our State to the land of milk and honey for the good of the larger majority of Edo people.

Asue Ighodalo, man for the job; vote "Ai" for Governor of Edo State 2024.

*N'Edo Gha Ma.*
