Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial leaders in Edo State have commended the party’s governorship aspirant, Solomon Edebiri, for his humility and maturity in his electioneering.
The leaders from Edo North and Edo Central gave the kudos during his separate campaign tours in the districts.
Etsako West Council Senatorial Leader, Anslem Agabi, told Edebiri in Uzaure: “We are proud that throughout your speech, you neither indicted anybody nor used any disparaging language on any opponent.
“We have heard you, we pray that God will support you to realise your aspiration.”
In Irrua, the Senatorial Chairman, Caesar Ehigiegbaye, said Edebiri is “eminently qualified to pick the party’s ticket in the primary.
“We are impressed with your vision and mission statement. Most of us have all along craved for you to join the PDP.
“And now that you have joined us, we will help you to work; and pray that God will see to the realisation of your dreams.
“We want to thank you for your brilliance and that throughout your speech, you did not castigate any individual for the sake of winning support.
“We commend your humility and maturity as a politician.”
Edebiri, at the two fora, appealed to the leaders not to mortgage the future of “our children over personal gains.’’
He said Edo needs to grow in the hands of a man with a corporate experience to turn it into a wealth creating state that guarantees speedy development in all the 18 councils.
