Edo North PDP Leaders Forum Rejects Purported Fugar Endorsement of Asue Ighodalo with Disgust

By Reporter

The Edo North PDP leaders forum notes with grave sadness and total disgust, the purported Fugar endorsement of Mr. Asue Ighodalo, an aspirant for the exalted office of Governor of Edo state.

The entire process and pronouncement is in absolute variance with the principles of democracy and a free, fair and level playing ground for all bonafide PDP members who meet the criteria to run for office .

In the 25 years of our democracy, the party has moved away from such draconian and illegal means of foisting aspirants on the people .

It was therefore a disgrace to watch the pathetic drama that played out in Fugar by a bunch of inconsequential Political efulefus who amused their audience with the said adoption at the meeting.

Needless to say the conveners of that gathering had no locus standi to parade themselves as custodians, judge and jury over the party candidate come February, 2024.

It begs the question, what legacy will this group of Men involved with this dishonest and unlawful act bequeath to the younger generation of PDP faithfuls in Edo North?

The Edo North  leaders forum hereby states unequivocally, that all party aspirants for the office of Governor (whether from the North, South or Central districts of the state) will be given free, fair and level playing ground to actualise their ambition in accordance with the party guidelines and constitution.

We  urge  party members to beware of this deceit and be on full alert of the nefarious activities of these people .

It is pertinent to note that we reject in absolute terms the so called endorsement of Mr. Asue Ighodalo in Edo North.
