They insisted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is never an option as the party has caused Nigerians hardship and suffering.
Obaseki said, “Asue Ighodalo is a man who knows what to do. The people need a credible candidate like him. We will be handing over to a winning team. Asue Ighodalo is coming to serve the people of Edo State. He is not looking for money, fame or fortune but to serve because of the love he has for Edo people. Ogie, his deputy, is a trustworthy person and together they will move the State forward.
“They will continue everything we have started. Asue Ighodalo will increase the budget to deliver more development for Edo people. I have never lost an election and this will never be different.”
