Former Senior Special Adviser to Governor Godwin Obaseki on Human Trafficking, Comrade Solomon Okoduwa, says the choice of Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Osarodion Ogie as running mate to Asue Ighodalo’s PDP governorship ticket is a political master stroke that would guarantee victory for party.
Okoduwan spoke to newsmen in Benin Thursday shorty after he inaugurated a grassroot campaign group with the sole objective of mobilizing support for the Asue/Ogie governorship ticket.
He urged Edo voters to queue behind the PDP candidate and his running mate in order to sustain the gains made by the Godwin Obaseki ‘s led administration.

He said over the years, Ogiehas demonstrated capacity, love and passion in uplifting the Edo youth and the downtrodden.
He added that his style of politics transcend partisanship and should be emulated.
He said, “Ogie’s fatherly disposition cuts across board. As a grassroot politician that is loved across political divide, the PDP will gain overwhelming support among majority of Edo voters across the three senatorial districts.”
Okoduwa continued: “I can recall vividly his efforts and concern in ensuring that all returned migrants in Edo are rehabilitated and this can be attested to. He is a listening leader and that is why we are coming out to throw our support for him.”
The youth leader and human rights activist also admonished the voting public especially the youth to wisely cast their ballot for the Peoples Democratic Party for their interest.
“I want to call on all and sundry to rally round the man whose life has inspired many. The man whose antecedents is more than enough to win the state for his party. Ogie is a mentor and father-figure to millions of Edo youth,” he added.
