The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the just concluded Edo State governorship election, Asue Ighodalo, says his aspiration was never about power but a genuine desire to serve Edo people.
Ighodalo made this statement in his thank you message to Edo people on Monday in Benin, saying he was determined to create prosperity for all.
“My good people of Edo State, in all things, we must first give thanks to God.
“We are grateful for the gift of life, health, and your overwhelming love and support throughout this journey.
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who stood by us. Your unwavering dedication has fueled our campaign and kept us moving forward.
“I particularly thank the brave people of Edo State who, despite rain, threats, and intimidation, cast their votes on September 21, 2024. Your resilience is the bedrock of our democracy.
“You are the true heroes of this moment, and your courage will never be forgotten. Your sacrifice paves the way for a brighter Edo State, one built on integrity and justice.
“My aspiration has never been about power. It has always been a genuine desire to serve and create prosperity for all in Edo State, for every man, woman, and child.
“I visited every ward, every local government, sharing this vision of hope and listening to your dreams. Your voices strengthened my resolve to fight for a better future.
“To our dedicated supporters, I thank you deeply for your belief in this cause. Your time, conversations, and votes carried us far beyond expectations.
“We ran a great campaign together, and your support was clear. Sadly, our progress was abruptly halted by those who don’t care for the people or the future of Edo.
“September 21, 2024, will be remembered as a dark day. The brazen theft of our mandate and the silencing of your voice was a grave injustice.
“But we must not be discouraged. Evil’s temporary victory can never erase the truth. Our quest for prosperity is just beginning, not ending.
“Let us stay united, engaged, and determined. You stood by me during this campaign, and as we face uncertain times ahead, I promise I will stand by you.
“Together, we will create a pathway to prosperity for all in Edo State, ” he said.
