Deputy Governor of Edo State Philip Shaibu has claimed that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the September 21, 2024, governorship election in the state, Asue Ighodalo, has not been accepted by the people of the state.
Shaibu, who spoke on Friday when he was featured on Channels
TV programme, alleged that the PDP candidate is rejected by his kinsmen because
he can’t speak their native language.
He vowed that Ighodalo, who is the anointed candidate of the
incumbent governor, Godwin Obaseki, would be defeated at the polls.
He said: “We are out now in politics and we will see where Obaseki has a shield and we are waiting for him in this election.
“I can tell you that the people don’t want Asue Ighodalo;
even his own people in Ewohimi don’t want him because he can’t speak their
language.”
According to Shaibu, Obaseki won the 2020 election out of
sympathy, stating that the electorate perceived that the governor was being
oppressed at that time.
