And that we will support you from beginning to the end and that you will win by the grace of God. We like you. Our people like you and we want to tell you not to worry because we are for you.”
Responding, Ighodalo thanked them for their support and love. He assured the women group that he would work assiduously to make life livable for all residents of Edo State. “I want to thank all of you very sincerely. Thank you for your support and your love. I promise you to work very hard to make Edo State a place that you can live in and work in and be happy in.
