In a bold move, Ms Patience Ndidi, the sole female candidate for the Edo State Governorship election, has called on residents to prioritize visionary leadership over emotional considerations to bring about significant transformation in the state. The People’s Redemption Party (PRP) candidate made the appeal at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday, emphasizing that visionary leadership transcends gender.
Ndidi urged the people to look beyond vote-buying incentives, gender, and party affiliations to ensure Edo is transformed for everyone’s benefit. According to her, Edo needs visionary leaders to tackle issues like unemployment, poverty, hunger, and the state of critical infrastructure such as roads, schools, and health facilities.
The PRP candidate identified herself as the sole "David" in the race, stating her goal is to win and bring transformation, hope, progress, and prosperity to Edo through human capital development. She emphasized that this election is crucial for the next four years and the future of the state, urging voters to stay open-minded and make a wise choice.
Ndidi highlighted women as leaders with strong managerial skills and the ability to multitask, appealing to both women and men to support her vision. She stated that women understand women and vote for women, and that they have the capacity to do great things when given the opportunity.
The PRP governorship candidate also urged the people of Edo to view the election not as a competition but as an opportunity to unite and work together to enhance the state’s greatness. She emphasized the need to harness the state’s talents and resources to develop manufacturing industries, create wealth, and boost revenue.
Ndidi pledged to tackle insecurity, unemployment, and hunger by empowering citizens, asserting that creating jobs and fostering a supportive investment climate will resolve insecurity. Her message of hope and transformation resonated with the audience, as she emphasized the importance of visionary leadership in bringing about positive change in Edo State.
