Atiku Urges Unity Among Edo PDP Gubernatorial Aspirants, Backs Ighodalo

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed his support for Asue Ighodalo, the recently elected flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the upcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State.

In a press statement released by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, the former vice president emphasized the importance of unity among the party’s gubernatorial aspirants to ensure a strong and united front in the election.

The Edo State gubernatorial election is set to take place on September 2024, and the political climate is heating up as various parties prepare to compete for the coveted position.

As the former vice president and the PDP’s presidential candidate in the last general election, Atiku’s endorsement carries significant weight within the party.

Atiku congratulated Ighodalo on his victory in the primary election and praised the decision of the party to elect a “thorough-bred technocrat” to represent them in the gubernatorial race.

He emphasized the importance of unity among the party’s gubernatorial aspirants and called for all members to work together to ensure that the PDP maintains its position in Edo State.

The Importance of Unity:
Atiku highlighted the current hardships faced by Nigerian citizens and urged the members of the PDP to work together in the interest of the party, particularly in Edo State.

He stressed the need to prevent the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from expanding its “map of hunger and poverty.”

As the Edo State gubernatorial election approaches, the endorsement of Asue Ighodalo by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar could have significant implications for the political landscape.

The call for unity among the PDP’s gubernatorial aspirants underscores the importance of a strong and united front in the upcoming election.
