Obaseki, who expressed the party’s readiness for the election, thanked the party leaders for their commitment, dedication and courage, which has kept the party together as one strong, united, and indivisible party.

He said, “I want to thank you all for rallying around the party to organise the ad-hoc congress, which produced the party candidate for the 2024 Edo governorship election. Congress chose our candidate, and the primary that produced Asue Ighodalo is being celebrated nationwide as the best ever in the nation.

“I thank you all for working with the delegates and for electing him as our candidate to carry our flag in this election and to succeed me as governor of Edo State. I have known him for about four decades and thank God for giving us somebody who I am certain will do better than I have done. He has the attributes, intelligence, and integrity and grew up under the great discipline of his mother.

“I am convinced that with the efforts that all of you have put in, Asue Ighodalo will be the governor of Edo State come September 21 governorship election 2024. We are the only party in the State, and I am not afraid, we will win the election.”

Noting that the election is 60 days from today, Obaseki stated, “We commend the Director General and members of the campaign council who have been working seriously underground. I thank you all for the hardwork and effort you put in to make our campaign a successful one.
