In a vibrant display of political fervor, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) campaign train, led by Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie, electrified Igbanke East Ward 11 and Igbanke West Ward 12 in Orhionmwon LGA, Edo State.
Truth Live News can confirm that the event was marked by a significant influx of new supporters, as hundreds of individuals defected from the Labour Party (LP), the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other parties to join the PDP.
The highlight of the evening was the dramatic defection of Madam Esther, a former Women Leader of Igbanke West in Orhionmwon LGA and a prominent Labour Party stalwart. Her emphatic declaration of support for the Ighodalo-Ogie ticket sent waves of excitement through the crowd, symbolizing a major shift in local political dynamics.
Addressing the enthusiastic gathering, Asue Ighodalo promised substantial infrastructural development in Igbanke if elected. He pledged to judiciously utilize resources to address the most pressing needs of the community. “Our commitment is to ensure that Igbanke receives the development it deserves. We will prioritize your needs and work tirelessly to uplift this area,” he affirmed.
Deputy Governor candidate Osarodion Ogie’s speech resonated deeply with the attendees. Demonstrating a thorough understanding of the local challenges, he assured the community of the completion of all ongoing road projects and the provision of stable rural electricity. “We understand your struggles and are dedicated to resolving them. Support us, and we will deliver on our promises,” Ogie urged.
The rally transformed into a colorful celebration, with women and youth groups dressed in vibrant attire, singing and dancing to cultural songs. The atmosphere was a testament to the #PathwayToProsperityForAll mantra of the Ighodalo-Ogie movement, reflecting a shared vision of progress and unity.
As the campaign continues to gain momentum, the enthusiasm and support from Igbanke’s residents underscore the growing belief in the PDP’s vision for a prosperous future.
