Dear Edo electorate, as we get ready to cast our votes on Saturday, March 18, 2023 for the 24 members of the House of Assembly, let these achievements of the PDP-led government in Edo State ably piloted by the award-winning governor, Godwin Obaseki, speak to your good conscience in determining who to vote for.
These achievements have earned the governor and, indeed, the state awards from notable organizations both within and outside Nigeria for economically developing the state through the implementation of its people-oriented policies and programmes. Governor Godwin Obaseki has done remarkably well in all the sectors of Edo State economy having returned the lost glory of the state in all aspects of human endeavour.
