Edo Guber: PDP Leader Advocates for Continued Progress
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

As Edo State prepares for the governorship election scheduled for September 21, 2024, Mr. Oteghe Adams, a prominent figure within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has emphasized the importance of continuing the progressive policies established by Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Adams argues that maintaining the current leadership is crucial for the state’s sustained growth and development, and he warns against electing a candidate who may lack the necessary experience and competence to continue this trajectory.

In his statement, Adams cautions that choosing an inexperienced or unsuitable successor could significantly undermine the progress made under the Obaseki administration. He stresses that the state needs a leader who understands the ongoing initiatives and has the capability to build on them, rather than someone who might reverse the gains achieved so far and potentially destabilize the state’s progress.

Adams has carefully compared the three main candidates for the governorship: Asue Ighodalo of the PDP, Senator Monday Okpebholo of the APC, and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party. He argues that Ighodalo stands out due to his extensive experience and proven track record. According to Adams, Ighodalo’s background in banking, finance, law, and public administration equips him with a unique set of skills that are essential for effective governance.

In his statement titled “PDP Progressive Agenda and APC Retrogression,” Adams, who is also a leader in the Oredo local government area, noted that Edo’s electorate is now highly educated and aware. This newfound awareness enables them to clearly distinguish between genuine democratic leadership and manipulative political tactics.

Adams suggests that the current political climate represents a significant improvement from the period before Governor Obaseki took office, indicating a positive shift in the state’s political landscape.

Addressing Olumide Akpata, Adams acknowledged his accomplishments as a lawyer and former president of the Nigerian Bar Association. However, he stated that these qualifications may not necessarily translate into effective governance. He argues that Akpata’s expertise in law might not be ideally suited for the diverse demands of the governorship role, which requires a broad range of organizational and managerial skills.

Adams also Criticized Senator Monday Okpebholo, questioning his effectiveness as a public servant. He highlighted a lack of notable achievements or significant legislative contributions since Okpebholo’s election to the Senate. Adams expressed concern over how Okpebholo managed to secure his position, suggesting it could have been better occupied by a more qualified candidate from the Esan region.

In contrast, Adams praised Asue Ighodalo for his “tried and tested” background, which he believes equips Ighodalo with the skills needed to further Edo State’s development. He described Ighodalo as an “illustrious Edo son” with an incorruptible record and a strong capacity to drive the state’s progress forward. Adams emphasized that Ighodalo’s vision and his articulate manifesto are clear indicators of his capability to lead Edo State effectively.

Adams asserted that Asue Ighodalo’s comprehensive experience and steadfast commitment to the state make him the best candidate for the governorship. He believes that Ighodalo’s leadership will ensure the continuation of Edo State’s advancement, providing ongoing progress and stability for its people.
