THE Chairman of Etsako East Local Government Council, Hon. Benedicta Attoh, has inaugurated the Edo Voice Movement (EVM)with ward coordinators for the Asue/Ogie Support Group, in Edo North.
Addressing members of the support group, the chairman expressed optimism that the PDP will win the Edo governorship election in September.
Speaking further she said, “We might not have money, but we have the people. We are unconcerned about Federal Might because the federal government does not vote. This election is all about the People’s Might. Let no one doubt, I can assure you that Asue Ighodalo will be the next Governor.”
“The Strength of a fish is the strength of the River. “I am speaking confidently because I am standing on your shoulders as my foot soldiers, the giant in the field to make us realise our goals.”
Hon. Attoh tasked the members and newly inaugurated ward coordinators to work as a team, stating that “Together Everyone Achieve More” (TEAM), rather than working independently. She thanked them for their shared purpose and encouraged them to always work together.
The Council Chairman, who described Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie as vessels chosen by God to help the common man and Edo State, stated that the two were not accidental candidates or mistakes, but rather God-chosen.
According to her, Asue Ighodalo is the epitome of humility; anyone who wants good governance and the development of Edo State should support him and set aside political interests by praying for Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie. The rumour of Asue Ighodalo’s disqualification should strengthen your resolve to support the PDP, because sticks and stones are only thrown at fruit bearing trees.
“If the opposition had nothing to fear, they would not have been spreading rumours. Be fortified by their noise and do not be discouraged. Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie are God’s Project” She said.
Earlier, the Edo North Coordinator of the “Edo Voice Movement” (EVM), Pastor Peter Igbogo, thanked the Etsako East Chairman for her sacrifices for the group, saying that her passion for the Asue Ighodalo Project and prompt intervention to issues led the group to adopt her as the patron of the support group.
“We are standing on your shoulder, and whatever results you expect from this group, we will exceed them in terms of canvassing for support for the PDP candidate.”
He maintained that the group, which focuses on culture and religion, has been visiting various cultural groups and religious organisations such as churches and mosques to drum support for the PDP candidate, and that the inauguration of ward coordinators by the Chairman, will help the group expand its scope in order to achieve their goals.
