Iexclusivenews reports that the ward-to-ward re-election campaign rally embarked upon by Obaseki has further challenged the governor to do even more for the people of Edo State

Ikhine said, “Obaseki having gone through the 192 wards of Edo State is thoroughly challenged to do even more for the people.

There were some villages we went to during the ward-to-ward campaign and you could see from the expression on his face that he was heartbroken.

He said some of the places they went to though in Edo State, have not received their fair share of government development.

“This indeed was the reason he embarked on the ward-to-ward campaign to be part of the community, feel what the people are feeling, understand what they are going through and know exactly what to do for them when re-elected.

At the ward to ward campaign,the governor was able to acquaint himself with the people through the campaign and this time not just telling them what he will do for them but listening to them directly.

“We are now being led by the needs of the community to formulate policies that will better the lives of the people,” he said.

Expressing confidence that PDP and its candidate will emerge victorious in the September 19, 2020 poll, Ikhine asked whether the other contestants were really contenders or mere pretenders to the throne.

Edo PDP has been very prominent in Edo State. Don’t forget Obaseki did not come to PDP alone, as almost all commissioners and other government appointees came with him,” Ikhine said.

“Obaseki is one person that doesn’t reward mediocrity but excellence and hard work. So, for you to become a Commissioner under Obaseki, you must have won your units and wards, and these were the key people giving PDP problems at the booth in the previous elections in the state.

“Even if he came with half of members of the APC, which is not even possible, that means PDP has 75 percent of the votes already. Don’t forget we have three aspirants who stepped down for the governor and are still supporting him. This is an election that we have already won as a party,” he said.
