The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the coming gubernatorial election in Edo State, Asue Ighodalo, has, during an interview on The Morning Show.
An Arise Television programme, described the primary election that was held at the residence of Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu as a mere event; as he noted that he cannot lose sleep over the Deputy Governor’s declaration as the authentic candidate of the party..
Asue Ighodalo had said, “I see a path for the State, I see a way by which I can contribute to moving the State into prosperity, and I am glad that I have come into this process, and I will give it my all.
I thank God that we have gone through the first stage and we will start work on reaching out to the people, talking to the people, getting across to the people, and doing our very best to do well in September and win election in the State.
As regards your second question, I actually didn’t know anything else was happening in anybody’s house, you know, definitely, as loyal members of our party, we shouldn’t do things that will bring our party into disrepute.
But I am quite clear in my mind that the party will deal with that issue, it’s not something I should lose sleep over or waste time talking about; when you call guests into your house — into your residence for an event, you can call the event whatever you wish.”
