bu,The meeting, which is believed to be connected to last-minute efforts to ensure the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, clinches the party’s ticket for the forthcoming governorship election in the state, is scheduled to hold today .
About a year after the Assembly was inaugurated, only 10 out of the 24 members of the Assembly had so far been sworn in. This is due to the crisis that surrounded the issuance of the proclamation of the Assembly by the governor. Conversely, another party source said, “In politics, nothing is cast in stone. Old foes can become friends with the right incentives. After all, there are no permanent friends or enemies.”
Asked if the direct primary election sanctioned by the party at the national level was not meant to swing the result of the governorship primary against Obaseki, the source said “we shall see.” “True democracy demands the involvement of citizens in decision making. For us as a political party, we will continue to give all our members a voice.
Political watchers are of the opinion that the NWC led by the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, is supporting Ize-Iyamu. Out of the N130.5m, while APC raked in N67.5m from the sale of three sets of expression of interest and nomination forms, the PDP, which also has three aspirants, made N63m.
“There will be no room for imposition of candidate. We are even ready to sell our forms to those who have yet to join us. We are not foreclosing the issue of waivers,’’ he added.Meanwhile, the Edo State chapter of the PDP has said it will welcome Governor Godwin Obaseki into its fold if he chooses to defect from the APC following the protracted crisis rocking the ruling party in the state.
“There is no deal to cede the governorship ticket to the governor if he defects. We’re not holding any discussion secretly or openly.” “Our strength is not in the weakness of our opponent but in the message of development we are sending to the electorate that we will do better; we are not like the APC.”INEC on Saturday said the bye-elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Plateau states would take place despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Other bye elections, according to INEC, included the five senatorial and four state Assembly bye-elections spread across nine states of the federation.
Must Obaseki run for second term,let him through towel when the ovation is loud.
Another ' gang up' against the incumbent governor to be presided over by the king maker
Obaseki should stop wasting his time trying to get automatic return ticket. However, the party should provide a level playing ground for all aspirants including the incumbent governor.
Useless people , to beg abi watin ?
I thought JackObinyan said Edo is not Lagos
AsiwajuTinubu will start making costly mistakes from Edo State. Mark my words. BabajideOtitoju I will remind you
I thought they said “Edo is not Lagos” please don’t disturb the old man. Ekpèn go and prepare for primaries sir.
No body can stop you from staying in the government house as governor nah, oga pack up jare . You giving osho Baba trouble
Why running up and down since u say no man can stop u, did u went to Lagos during ur first election? I guess u are feeling d heat now. If u had given d people of Edo d dividend of democracy, they would have been ur greatest strength now. But wat have u done in d past 4 years?
So nah tinubu say make Edo people no give obaseki ticket Abi? Nah wow , confusion everywhere ..
I don't know if am the only 1 seeing this?..but this man resemble Mr ibu
Such meeting will make no sense..In Lagos State, d popular AmbodeTreatment succeeded because of d Jagabans' interest...Now Oshiobaba has similar interest as to who bcoms d next Edo State Gov..And as d Party's National Chair, I think Tinubu wil want to respect his opinion here..
Lol... Obaseki may find it very difficult if Tinubu turns his back towards him. Tinubu is party he won't do otherwise. I smell Amobde defeat on obaseki.
Why? They dont need him cos they said he can't be in Lagos and be controlling Edo. Obaseki will learn like ambode.
