Backlash in Edo: Residents Slam Asue Ighodalo For Outlandish Work ClaimsI would work 27 hrs a day , I would work 9 days in a week and I will work when I can work no more – Asue Ighodalo

“Abeg, this person no be washer man? E talk say e go work 27 hours for one day, but we sabi say na only 24 hours dey. E still talk say e go work 9 days for one week, when we know say na only 7 days dey. If na so politicians wan take steal our money, dem go just dey make nonsense claims wey no get sense.”

That was Charles Idemudia’s initial response upon viewing the viral video of Asue boasting that he would work beyond regular working hours.

Edo residents are known for their no-nonsense attitude, and they’re not hesitating to call out Ighodalo’s apparent attempt at deception. They’re demanding answers: What kind of work does Ighodalo propose that warrants such grandiose promises? The skepticism is palpable, with many echoing Idemudia’s sentiments and expressing their frustration with politicians who resort to empty rhetoric for political gain.

Adding their voices to the chorus of dissent, other residents have stepped forward to express their disdain for Ighodalo’s inflated promises.

Osezele: “This kind talk wey Ighodalo dey talk, e be like say e dey take us play. No be so leadership suppose dey work. We need people wey go talk true and fit deliver, not just dey yarn dust.”

Osagie: “Na wah oh! Which kain talk be dat one? If dem give am chance to work, e fit turn us to slaves with all dis kind statement.”

Emeka: “Eh-hehn! If na so dem go dey talk, make we shine our eyes well-well during election time. No let dem deceive us with sweet talk wey no dey get substance.”

As the uproar continues, politicians are reminded of the consequences of making empty pledges for political gain. The people are watching closely, and they will not tolerate deceitful tactics. It’s time for leaders to prioritize honesty, integrity, and genuine service to the people.

In conclusion, the outcry against Ighodalo’s exaggerated claims serves as a cautionary tale for politicians: the era of empty promises is over. Edo residents deserve leaders who will work diligently and responsibly, not just make grandiose statements for political gain.
