According to him, it would be a miracle if any other party gets up to 20% of the votes.

Obaseki made this statement during a meeting with PDP leaders from each ward across the 18 Local Government Areas of the state, held at Government House, Benin City.

Obaseki said: “I want to thank all of you for the work and commitment put in to ensure that our party in Edo State remains united, focused, and organised and is able to deliver and produce the leadership our people have been yearning for. I believe that from the work we have done till date, it will be a miracle if the next party gets up to 20 per cent of the votes. We are not afraid or disturbed by the antics to try and distort us. I want to assure you that under my watch, the next governor of Edo State will be a PDP governor.”

“I want to thank you all for rallying round the party to organise the Ad-hoc Congress which produced the party candidate for the 2024 Edo Governorship election. That Congress chose our candidate and the primary election 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,” he added.

He further noted, “We have been able to inaugurate the State Campaign Council, Local Governments Campaign Council and the ward campaign teams are all in place too. We have also been able to upload the list of all our party agents in all the 4,519 units, and successfully uploaded the names of all our agents into the INEC portal. This meeting is to brief you on our political activities over the next 60 days leading to the election.

“The candidate is finalising his campaign itinerary. What we have done is to make sure that the last campaign will take place on the 18th of September 2024. Local Government campaign will start on the 1st of September while this campaign will be flagged off on the 29th of August 2024 where we will be inviting national leaders of the party to come help us with the flag-off of the campaign.
“Between today and that date, we expect the candidate to tour all the 192 wards in the state as the candidate will be making stops in all your wards.”

The meeting was attended by top PDP officials, including the Deputy Governor, Engr. Marvellous Godwins Omoboyo; Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr. Osaigbovo Iyoha; Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Hon. Blessing Agbebaku; Chief Tom Ikimi; Senator Clifford Ordia; State Party Chairman of PDP, Dr. Anthony Aziegbemi; and PDP governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, among others.
