rooted in the principles of good governance, transparency, and unwavering integrity, also has coordinators in Edo Central and Edo North and it is galvanizing the masses, which transcends party lines and ideological divides.
“The clarion call echoing throughout Edo towns and villages is a testament to the people’s yearning for transformative leadership – a leader who will steer the state away from the morass of corruption and mismanagement that has plagued it for far too long”,.
Atiomo emphasised that Ighodalo, is a legal luminary, an investment banker and respected public servant who stands as the embodiment of the “Obidients” ardent aspirations.
He said his impeccable track record, coupled with his visionary agenda for Edo resurgence, has captured the imagination of the electorate.
He opined that from his unwavering commitment to infrastructure development and job creation to his resolute stance against graft and malfeasance, Ighodalo’s candidacy represents a beacon of hope in a political landscape often marred by cynicism and disillusionment.
He further said that the “Obidients” for Ai crusade, is more than a mere political campaign; it is a clarion call to all Edo residents to rise up and reclaim their rightful place as the architects of their own destiny adding that the movement transcends party affiliations but uniting citizens under the banner of a shared vision for a prosperous, equitable, and just Edo state.
“As the drums of the “Obidients” for Ai crusade reverberates across the wards and units of the state, the call for Ighodalo’s ascension to the governorship becomes a rallying cry for all who seek to restore the state’s lost glory.
“The time has come for the people of Edo to heed this call, to harness their collective power, and to usher in a new era of transformative leadership that will propel the state towards a future of unparalleled progress and prosperity”, Atiomo said.
