He continued:

“PDP is the will of God. I already said it in the month of January and February. Neither APC nor PDP has paid me. But let me say it: Asue Ighodalo is the choice of God. He is the man to rule Edo state.“If APC wins, Edo will be dry. Salary payment will be a problem. Edo state is PDP. No matter how they (the APC) try, that man will still win.“The president (Bola Tinubu) will do anything about the Edo election. No matter how they stress him (Ighodalo), he will come out victorious.”
