Edo Mr asu and Igodelo governor
3:39
Obo's offer of political amnesty to
3:42
Igodelo who has been sidelined by his
3:44
political benefactors is a show of true
3:48
sportsmanship governor Opbolo who
3:50
described Asu and Igodelo's
3:52
discomforting situation since he was
3:54
defeated during the election as
3:55
troubling urged him to join the All
3:58
Progressives Congress APC and contribute
4:01
meaningfully to the ongoing development
4:03
efforts across Edo State i want to
4:06
publicly invite Mr asuanigodo to join us
4:10
in the APC so that together we can
4:13
advance the cause of development in our
4:14
dear state since his vision aligns with
4:17
what we are already doing through God's
4:19
help we believe he still has a role to
4:22
play godwin Obaseeki who lured Asuan
4:25
Igodelo to come and run for elections is
4:28
hiding in the United States of America
4:31
half of Abiseki's cabinet members who
4:33
regarded Igodelo as their own personal
4:35
vending machine have all deserted him
4:37
and are hiding abroad as a brother who
4:40
truly cares for Igodelo's
4:42
well-being I believe that this political
4:44
amnesty will save him from this
4:46
humiliation and loneliness as a people
4:49
we have a task of ensuring that we
4:51
continue to develop Edeto state protect
4:53
our people and work hard to reelect

areas Governor Obolo stated emphasizing

the need for unity and reconciliation
5:08
beyond political divides governor Obholo
5:11
assured Igodelo that any past political
5:13
differences would be set aside if he
5:15
chooses to accept the unconditional
5:17
political amnesty we are ready to
5:20
forgive and move forward what matters
5:22
now is putting Edeto state first the
5:25
time for politics is over this is the
5:27
time to work for the people and ensure
5:29
that the dividends of democracy reach
5:32
every corner of the state he declared
5:35
governor Obo's gesture is a deliberate
5:37
move to foster peace and heal the
5:39
divisions that emerged during the last
5:41
governorship election in Edo state the
5:44
OP hololed administration has continued
5:46
to prioritize peace security and
5:49
sustainable development and this latest
