The Oredo Council boss stated that for the past seven years, Edo State has been experiencing progressive development under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki, and to ensure continuity, the state needs someone who understands what it means to take Edo to the next level, hence the choice of Asue Ighodalo.
Earlier in an address, the PDP chairman, Oredo Local Government Area, Hon. Henshel Usiobaifo, assured the market women that Asue Ighodalo will continue from where Governor Godwin Obaseki stops.
“He will ensure Edo State becomes an investment hub and this will positively affect their profit margin in their business places,” Usiobaifo assured.
