Edo guber: El-Rufai dumps APC, supports Asue Ighodalo of PDP
Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has made waves by publicly endorsing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Asue Ighodalo ahead of the upcoming Edo State governorship election slated for September 21, 2024.

This endorsement has drawn considerable attention, given the El-Rufai family’s longstanding ties to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Bashir’s public backing of Ighodalo on social media has crated some discussions within political circles, as it represents a significant departure from his family’s usual political stance.
Ighodalo, who previously served as chairman of the board at Sterling Bank, has been gaining momentum as the election draws near. His candidacy is shaping up to be a strong challenge in what is expected to be a fiercely contested election.
The Edo State governorship race is set to be a three-way contest between the PDP’s Asue Ighodalo, Senator Monday Okopebholo of the APC, and Barrister Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party. With political heavyweights from all sides, the election promises to be one of the most closely watched in recent times.
