It has been gathered that the governor has selected Ighodalo, who originates from Esanland within the Edo Central Senatorial District, to represent the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming gubernatorial election slated for November 12, 2024.

As reported by The Nation, Governor Obaseki is in the process of formally presenting Ighodalo to both the state and national leadership of the PDP.

The newspaper notes that, leading up to the forthcoming gubernatorial election, the leaders of other political parties such as the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP) are also devising strategies to nominate their candidates from the Edo Central senatorial district in an attempt to pose a formidable challenge to the PDP.

It’s worth mentioning that Governor Obaseki is originally from Benin within the Edo South senatorial district, while his deputy, Shaibu, hails from Jettu in the Etsako West Local Government Area within the Edo North senatorial district. They are both determined to secure the PDP nomination and succeed in the forthcoming election.
