The PDP stalwart added that it will be very easy for the duo of Asue and Ogie to pick it up from there.
He maintained that the state can never go back to the old stone age where things are done in a crude way, stressing that the state has technologically advanced beyond that.
Udugbai who was conspicuously seen holding up the umbrella for the governorship candidate of the at the rally, said forward ever and backward never for the state.
He further called on the people of the state to come out and join the moving train of progress and development by voting Asue Ighodalo and his running mate, Osarodion Ogie in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
