is already campaigning
The race to determine the next Governor of Edo state is on.
And it is an open secret that outgoing Governor Godwin Obaseki does not want his Deputy Philip Shaibu as a successor.
Those in the have unveiled his preferred successor.
He is Asue Ighodalo, a thoroughbred technocrat.
Ighodalo a lawyer is holds a B.Sc degree in Economics from the University of Ibadan , an LL.B from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a B.L from the Nigerian Law School, Lagos.
Among other top-level corporate accomplishments to his name, he was appointed as the chairman of the board of directors of Nigerian Breweries Plc in April 2023.
Obaseki in celebrating the feat wrote, “I celebrate your genius and commitment to perfection”.
Ighodalo is already campaigning to become the gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2024 Edo Governorship election – like Shaibu who insists he will be the flagbearer despite Obaseki’s opposition.
