Edo Gubernatorial: Ighodalo’s wife, others in roadshow

The wife of the Edo State’s governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mrs Ifeyinwa Ighodalo, staged a roadshow in Benin yesterday as a final push to woo votes for her husband, Asue Ighodalo.

The roadshow, which kicked off from the National Museum ground at Ring Road in Benin, saw women in their numbers joining the show.

The set-up consisted of women from the Arewa community, and others from Oredo, Ikpoba Okha and Egor Local Government Areas. The roadshow, which was carnival-like, featured the wife dancing to the admiration of the party supporters.

Mrs Ighodalo urged the electorate to come out en mass to vote for her husband.

The roadshow drew the attention of traders at the Oba Market and other passers-by, creating an atmosphere of funfair for the people.

Expressing her joy about the roadshow and for the candidacy of Asue Ighodalo, Mrs. Philomena Osaro from Oredo Ward 3, said Ighodalo was the only candidate with the capacity to govern the state.
