Ahead of the September 21, 2024 governorship election in Edo State, the Coalition of Registered Political Parties has endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo.
The Chairman of the CRPP in Edo State, Dr. Samson Isibor, revealed the development at a meeting on Friday in Benin.
At the meeting attended by state and local government executives in the Edo State capital, Isibor noted that residents could no longer afford basic necessities due to the high cost of living, exacerbated by harsh economic policies.
He expressed confidence in Ighodalo’s ability to fulfill his campaign promises and address the state’s challenges, including insecurity, high fuel costs, and electricity shortages.

He charged security agencies to discharge their duties professionally, without taking sides.
