Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the upcoming Edo State governorship election, has pledged to make informed and independent decisions if elected.
In a Tuesday interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Ighodalo assured voters that he would not serve the interests of any godfather or repeat past mistakes in managing relationships with predecessors.
Ighodalo, a former Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), secured the endorsement of incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki, who snubbed his deputy Philip Shaibu. Obaseki and Shaibu have been embroiled in a conflict over political succession, while Obaseki has recently reconciled with his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole.
