Asue Ighodalo spotted with Uniben’s best graduating students in Law and Engineering

Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the recent governorship elections, was spotted in the company of the University of Benin's best graduating students in Law and Engineering during a private breakfast held yesterday in Benin.

The group had breakfast at Abstract restaurant in GRA. Ogheneochuko Akpako, who earned the title of Best Graduating Student in Mechanical Engineering for the 2021/2022 academic session, and Anthonia Ikeriehi, the Best Graduating Student in the Faculty of Law for the same period both took to social media platforms X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to express their gratitude towards Ighodalo for the invitation.

In a viral post on X, Akpako remarked, “Yesterday, I had the privilege of having lunch with @Aighodalo, an inspiring and humble leader dedicated to fostering academic excellence and empowering the youth in Edo State.” He highlighted Ighodalo's commitment to excellence, noting that he generously awarded them with cash prizes and gifts.

During their hour-long conversation, they discussed the potential of young minds to drive national growth and explored future career prospects. Ighodalo emphasized the importance of giving back to the community and encouraged the graduates to pursue excellence in all their endeavors.

Ikiriehi also shared her thoughts on Instagram, stating, “I was privileged to meet the great Asue Ighodalo. Having a conversation with him revealed that there are indeed people who are ionate about the system, eager to see the youth thrive, and committed to rewarding excellence and hard work.” She expressed her appreciation for Ighodalo's belief in academic excellence, stating, “Thank you for raising the bar higher, sir. It's an honor to meet you!”

This meeting comes on the heels of Akpako's earlier viral post on X where he posted that the University of Benin had awarding him 5,000 Naira for his outstanding academic achievements, prompting public outcry and questioning of the school's policies regarding student recognition.

Asue Ighodalo’s engagement with these young scholars is a testament of his commitment to youth empowerment and educational excellence in Edo State and Nigeria at large.

The governor Edo could have had but na confusing person na hin the godfathers bring..🤔🤔

Political strategy.....










Pls, a quick reminder that those who voted for BAT have parked their cars and they have started trekking

Baba don become influencer

Na this man EDO people vote but INEC chairman gave us an illiterate called okpebholo who cannot pronounce ordinary figures

When you want to remain relevant until the next election.

This is heartwarming.... that's the standard.

At least he will keep himself busy and we will be knowing him the more, unlike before when he bolted out of the blues.
It is clear that Tinubu will not allow him to win at he Supreme court or any other court.

The Judiciary is a conquered territory of the Executive.

See BETTER Material unlike that Illiterate Governor, struggling to call out Simple mathematical figures.

Shame on APC for making M0rons and Thugs Governors!

Under Obasanjo/PDP Era,Okpebholo will not get employment even as GATEMAN in Aso rock.

d governor dey voted for...

Medicine nko na. Una dey cheat us o

He must have failed becoming a governor but have not failed rewarding excellence.

And I bet you if this man won the governorship elections, he would have been in good position to empower, encourage youths and celebrate excellence even the More.



AM talking to you now:

Have you been privileged for recommendations for a governorship candidacy?

Is it that you are a sadist?

Seems it irritates you when youths are encouraged?
How do you reason exactly?
What is the colour of your confusion?

Obasanjo said he would have been a roadside mechanic if he didn't the army.
Meanwhile God bless Akpakomiza and Denco. Blessed is Edo land.

How can he meet the best engineering student of 2021/2022, when there is the current one from electrical/electronic engineering in 2023/2024. Anyway, Ighodaro is still bitter about the votes from my LGA, Akoko Edo to APC, even with the illegal deputy governor, Obaseki wanted to decieve us with, to corner votes. Mugu man, Gofund me as already started and we will donate to our distinguish young lad. Let him keep his frustration to himself.

not just figures but his own budget figures. It is really disheartening

Asue's gesture is confusing you, and I really feel your confusion.

You are in severe pain and a state of confusion.

They are tinubu zombies.
Don't take them seriously.

They hate anything that's directly or indirectly opposed to tinubu.
