In a significant boost to his campaign, Dr Asue Ighodalo, the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, has received the endorsement of Andrew Alli, a former Chief Executive Officer of Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and son of the late former governor of the state, Prof. Ambrose Alli.
Andrew Alli, a seasoned finance professional with over three decades of experience in African infrastructure and energy projects, expressed his support for Ighodalo, citing their long-standing personal and professional relationship.
“I’ve known Dr. Ighodalo for several decades as a person of integrity,” Alli remarked. “He cares about Edo State and wants to give back. There are other good candidates, but overall, Asue is the best, and that’s why I’m endorsing him today.”
It be recalled that about 45 years ago, Dr. Ighodalo’s father Jeremiah Ighodalo stepped down for Prof. Ambrose Alli during the UPN governorship primaries, paving the way for the elder Alli’s remarkable tenure as governor.
Andrew Alli’s endorsement comes just a day after internationally renowned musician Davido voiced his support for Dr. Ighodalo, joining the long list of celebrities and political figures who have endorsed his candidacy.
