Ovia North East and Ovia South West local government areas non-indigenes under the aegis of Edo State Non-Indigenous Forum, have thrown their weight behind the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Saturday’s Edo State governorship poll Asue Ighodalo.
The groups, including Hausa/Fulani, Ndigbo, Yoruba, Urhobo and other groups from Kogi State, at two separate town hall meetings in Okada and Iguobazuwa on Monday, received Ighodalo.
They pledged their total support for him with a promise to vote massively for the PDP. At the Okada meeting, E. O Efosa, relayed the message of The Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, to the people.
According to him, the Esama told the people to vote for the PDP because “he doesn’t know any other party than the PDP”.
