- Anselm Ojezua, the Leading PDP Edo Governorship Aspirant Officially Declares His Intention to contest for Governor of Edo State 2024 to Party Leaders of His Ward.
As part of preparations towards Edo 2024 gubernatorial election, one of the leading aspirants Anselm Ojezua has continued consultations with party leaders and stalwarts to canvass for their support to bring his ambition to fruition.
Ojezua who recently met with the executives and leaders of the PDP in Ikekato Ward 4 of Esan Central LGA formally declared his intention to his people ahead of the party primary.
He said, “The reason I requested for this meeting is to formally inform you of my decision to contest for governor of Edo state 2024 after the tenure of His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki”.
“Some of you may be wondering why I have waited until now for this formal declaration, when you may have previously heard of my intentions from unofficial sources”.
Ojezua said, “The truth is that, when I made up my mind on this subject matter, first, I sought the blessings and prayers of the Odionwele of my immediate Community, Idinobi in Ikekato, Irrua and the Odionwele of Udowo also in Ikekato, Irrua. Thereafter, I received royal blessings from the Ojirrua of Irrua and the Okaijesan of Esan Land, His highness W. O. Momodu II.”
The Governorship hopeful noted that the role of leaders in the task ahead cannot be overlooked, hence his decision to consult with PDP stalwarts across the state.
”Knowing that this position I seek is statewide, not just here in Esan, it compasses the three senatorial districts of the state, I have consulted with prominent leaders of PDP in Edo South, North and here in Esan Land”.
Recounting his experience in his consultation visits so far, Anselm Ojezua says the leaders were not only in agreement for an Esan Governor, they were also favorably disposed to him as the preferred choice based on their personal knowledge of him and remarkable reputation. He has therefore come home to seek their support and prayers.
Esan Oyeee!
