The road show,  which has a funny character like a giant King Kong and with other women dressed in the party’s T-shirt, fenz-cap and other paraphernalia danced to the Asue Ighodalo’s jingles which were played repeatedly.

Addressing those who left their wares to listen to her campaign, Mrs. Ighodalo introduced herself as the wife of the governorship candidate of the PDP.. 

Mrs. Ighodalo who spoke in Igbo language to drive down her message to traders, told them that she is one of them and that they should vote for her husband come September 21 in the governorship election.
