Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the election, Asue Ighodalo, has said last Saturday would be remembered in Edo State as a dark day
Ighodalo added in a thank you message to the people that the ‘’brazen theft of our mandate and silencing of your voice’’ on September 21 represented a ‘’grave injustice…’’
Ighodalo, who said his aspiration was never about power, but to serve, urged PDP supporters to have hope because ‘’evil’s temporary victory can never erase the truth.’’
The message, made available to reporters in Benin, Edo State capital yesterday, eulogised the people for defying all odds to turn up to vote.
The message reads: “I extend my gratitude to everyone who stood by us. Your dedication has fuelled our campaign and kept us moving forward.
“I particularly thank the brave people of Edo State who, despite rain, threats, and intimidation, voted on September 21. Your resilience is the bedrock of our democracy.
“You are the true heroes of this moment, and your courage will never be forgotten.
“ I thank you 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 halted by those who didn’t care for yo 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 ”
