In the heated aftermath of the September 21, 2024, Edo State governorship election, the scene is shaking once more due to shocking revelations plaguing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A staunch advocate of progress and development, Ighodalo is driven by a fierce determination to build upon the foundations laid by former Governor Lucky Igbinedion. He claims that when they regain their mandate, they will continue the mission, ensuring a sustainable future for all Edo State residents.

"Lucky Igbinedion has paved the way for prosperity in this state, and we will pick up where he left off. Our commitment remains steadfast, and we vow to perform to the best of our ability, ensuring that every Edo citizen will thrive in the years to come."
