Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has disclosed the real reasons he brought the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, to contest for the governorship race in the state.
Obaseki, who disclosed that he brought Ighodalo in because he needed a competent hand to pilot the affairs of the state, noting that electing an incompetent Governor would be a disservice to the people of Edo State.
The Governor made this disclosure during PDP’s campaign in Etsako East Local Government Area of the state.
The Governor explained that he also brought Ighodalo to continue the good works of his administration, just as he also added that Ighodalo is not a “push-and-start” candidate.
“Asue Ighodalo is not a ‘push-and-start’ candidate. The state needs competent hands to pilot its affair, given the level of suffering currently ravaging Nigeria today.
“So, it will be a big disservice to the state to elect somebody who is grossly incompetent and incapable of managing it.
“Edo is already enjoying good governance and that is why I brought Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie to continue the good work I am doing,” Obaseki said.
