Many more members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okpella kingdom, Estako East Local Government Area of Edo State have endorsed the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Asue Ighodalo.
They hinged their support for Ighodalo in their belief in the leadership of their son, Prince Tyson Otaru, who they vowed to follow anywhere he goes. They also affirmed that the choice of who should lead should not be on the basis of party but competence and capacity of the individual to deliver quality leadership to the people.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Mr. Braimoh Omokhogie, said; “we are from the APC but we have decided to support Ighodalo’s candidacy because he remains the only candidate in the state whose manifesto captures the yearnings and aspirations of the people. Our son, Prince Tyson, is a man we trust and we will follow”. he said.
Addressing the people, Prince Otaru thanked them for their trust and confidence in him.
Speaking further, he stated that “Ighodalo’s candidacy transcends partisan boundaries”. He added, “He is a phenomenal, a great man with an uncommon capacity for quality performance, especially giving his experience in the private sector”.
He assured the people that Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie will certainly improve on the peace and development being enjoyed in the state .
Prince Otaru then presented hundreds of branded wrappers, t-shirts, face caps etc to the group.
In a related development, Prince Tyson Otaru on Friday, 9th of September, 2024 led members of his team on a solidarity visit to Chief Dr. Francis Inegbeneki, the Uzoya of Esanland and Prince Emmanuel Odigie aka Gaddafi.
Speaking during the visit, Prince Tyson Otaru eulogized the leadership capacity ,the sagacity and humanitarian activities of Chief Inegbeneki. He lauded the bold steps taken by the duo to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) saying Inegbeneki is a man worthy of emulation.
In his reaction, Chief Inegbeneki thanked him and his team for the solidarity visit to him and his very esteemed brother, Prince Emmanuel Odigie.
He told the team to remain focused reassuring them that Asue-Ogie will win the Edo election. He urged the people not to be intimidated or be discouraged by the propaganda being spread around by the APC.
