Asue Ighodalo: I will be man of my own if elected as Edo governor
The PDP candidate said he would take advice from political elders in the state and be a man of his own.
Asue Ighodalo, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo, says he will not be controlled by any godfather if elected as governor of the state.
Asue spoke on Monday when he was a guest on Channels Television programme, Politics Today.
The PDP candidate said he would take advice from political elders in the state and be a man of his own.
“My answer is: I have always been a man of my own and I will be a man of my own. That does not mean I will not take advice from other people who have gone through similar experiences,” he said.
“It is important that I say that because it is only a person who is a bit foolish that will go through certain endeavours and certain work types without taking advice.
“Throughout my life, I have had mentors, I’ve had great mentors as I was growing up in my profession, as a lawyer, as a business person, in the boardroom, I’ve always sought the advice of the people I looked up to and I value. So, I will do so all the same.
“I will always seek advice so that I will avoid the mistakes that others make. I will be my own man. Nothing is going to change because I’m governor or anything else that I am.”
