A group under the aegis of United 4 Greater Edo, on Wednesday, appealed to the people of the state to support the governorship aspiration of the member representing Ovia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr Dennis Idahosa, in the interest of the shared prosperity of the state.
The group particularly noted that the representative of Ovia federal constituency at the National Assembly had demonstrated capacity to govern the state if given the opportunity.
In a statement by the convener, Abel Aigbondion, the group called for the rejection of any candidate/aspirant from the incumbent governor of the state, Governor Godwin Obaseki.
While commending Idahosa over his performance in Ovia within the last four years, the group promised to canvass support for his aspiration across the nooks and crannies of Edo State.
According to the chairman, “We are very much impressed with what he has been able to achieve in Ovia within a limited period and urged him to continue in that direction.
“While Ovia people remain the beneficiaries of Idahosa’s magic wand, we however want the generality of people of the state to be part of Idahosa school of politics of good governance.
“What we are saying in essence is that we are supporting him and also calling on the people to do same so that he can replicate same thing he has done in Ovia to the state.
“Idahosa is not only young and hard working, he has shown that what truly matters to him is the happiness of his people and that is exactly the kind of governor we should desire come 2024.”
