Ubiaja, Edo State – The race for Edo State Governor officially kicked into high gear today as the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) launched their campaign in a display of force and public enthusiasm rarely seen in the region. Ubiaja, the administrative heart of Esan South East Local Government Area, was brought to a standstill as thousands of supporters converged on the city’s main stadium for the event.
The sheer volume of attendees forced the closure of major roads, painting a vivid picture of the excitement surrounding the PDP ticket. The party’s nominee, Asuerinme Ighodalo, alongside his running mate, Osarodion Ogie, were met with a roaring wave of support from the massive crowd.
Political analysts and seasoned observers see the Ighodalo-Ogie ticket as a strategic and compelling combination, positioning the PDP as a formidable force in the upcoming September 21st gubernatorial election. The energy witnessed in Ubiaja underscores the growing momentum behind their campaign, signaling a potentially pivotal moment in the race for Edo State’s highest office.
