We have no doubt on the position of our principal as stated below.
Ojezua wants his supporters to remain steadfast with confidence that he remains in the contest and by no means has any intention whatsoever to step down from the race. He says, ‘I have a lot to offer the people of Edo State both in politics and administration and I am passionate about it. I do not represent myself; I represent the people who believe in me, my ability to deliver on good governance as well as unify the party.’
Nothing is easy, he doesn’t expect this contest to be easy, but that does not deter him from concluding on what he has started. He added, ‘I will continue with my campaign while the committee concludes on their findings. I trust this clears any doubts on my position.’
Team Ojezua 2024 remains resolute to walk this road with Anselm Usioise Ojezua, Esq. until conclusion.
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!

Anselm Ojezua, the leading PDP Governorship aspirant on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, met with the PDP Edo Central Senatorial Executives and Leaders at the party secretariat in Uromi to declare his intention to contest for Governor of Edo State in 2024. While addressing the leaders in the district he stated that the perennial problem confronting governance in Edo has been due to the inability of the principal leaders to manage their relationships; he emphasized the detrimental impact of isolating party leaders from governance under the guise of technocracy.
Ojezua questioned the deliberate sidelining of leaders crucial to the party’s emergence. He stressed that anyone who is instrumental to installing a Governor must be entitled to participate in Governance. According to Ojezua, a Governor’s success hinges on the collective efforts and participation of all concerned.
He asserted that since the problem is political, the solution can only be found in an experienced politician who must possess the requisite skill; he therefore offered himself for the task because of his long-term experience in politics coupled with a robust record in various aspects of Government over time. Ojezua acknowledged not being a billionaire but believed that goodwill is more relevant than money in politics.
Finally, he urged the leaders to take the exercise very seriously because of the existential threat that confronts them urging them to protect their own interests by supporting him.
The party’s Zonal Chairman, represented by the Zonal Secretary, acknowledged Ojezua as a strong candidate but cautioned that collaboration with his team would determine his acceptability.
“I can assure you on behalf of the Executives and the leaders here, we are going to have a credible, free and fair primary election and if a candidate emerges, we are all expected to collaborate with that candidate”.

“If You Want to Lead an Orchestra, You Must Back the Crowd” – Horace
Hon Anselm Ojezua Esq is one of the most eminent sons of Edo state that ushered in the birth of the 4th Republic in the State in May 1999.
He was there at the beginning with Governor Igbinedion 1999, Governor Oshiomhole 2008 and with Governor Obaseki 2016.
Under these governors and eminent sons of Edo state, Hon Anselm had honed the skills of leadership. As Deputy Chief of Staff, 3-time Commissioner, and 2-time Party Chairman. Now is his time to use those acquired skills of statecraft to move Edo state to the next level.
Going forward Hon Anselm Ojezua Esq is without debate, the best candidate on offer to the good people of Edo state for Governor in 2024.
Like a great leader, he can cut through arguments, debates, and doubts to offer solutions everybody can key into. Even when tough decisions have to be taken, which may require the need to back the populist crowd in order to lead the orchestra of Government, he will rise to the occasion by carrying the people along. He is a consummate consensus builder.
Together with the supreme quality for leadership, which is integrity, Hon Anselm is far above anyone else on the field.
One of the tests of leadership which Hon Anselm Ojezua has on offer from my years of interaction with him, is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency. As a homeboy in touch with Edo state, while others think and talk about the State problems, Hon Anselm by his extensive experience within the system, thinks and talks about solutions. This is the extra package he brings to the table.
Even as top functionary of 3 Administrations since 1999, Hon Anselm never lived in official quarters, because he always wanted to be close to the people with open doors, to feel their pulse. All great leaders must be close enough to relate with their people, but far enough to motivate them. That defines this candidate on offer to Edo people, Hon Anselm Ojezua Esq.
As the next Governor needed to take the state to the next level, he will hit the ground running. That would create a seamless transition needed to get things done as quickly as possible given the exigency of the time. Edo state no doubt would love this man and I believe they would not let this opportunity pass them by.
Vote & Nominate Hon Anselm Ojezua Esq as the candidate of the PDP for Governor Edo state 2024. You Can Never Be Wrong.
Just Do It✔️
