Solomon Obomighie, and his deputy, along with Hon. Pascal Ugbome. HRH D Y Kanuba, the Eghiegbai of Ekperi Kingdom, Barr. Richard Anetekhai, and Hon.

This significant move demonstrates the growing support for the PDP in Etsako Central has reinforced the party’s commitment to inclusive governance and grassroots engagement.

They are confident that Asue Ighodalo’s leadership and the PDP’s vision will bring positive change and progress to the LGA.

Moreover, these former APC members have expressed strong support for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and have praised the selection of Asue Ighodalo as the PDP candidate for the upcoming governorship elections on September 21st. They described this selection as a beacon of hope and a shining light in the political landscape.

Pa Chief Michael Igenegbai Itsenegbemhe who died as the eldest man in Ekperi Kingdom at Udaba world 8, during the visit, Hon.
