The Peoples Democratic Party won the presidential and National Assembly elections in Edo State. But, Governor Godwin Obaseki rose swiftly to abort the plan of the main opposition party to win majority of seats in the House of Assembly elections, reports Correspondent OSAGIE OTABOR.
In Edo Central, the PDP retained its political prowess, winning the senatorial and the House of Representatives seats. “The governor spoke to a point that he threw away the microphone. None of the leaders utter any word in defence. He has said he would deal with them. The APC selected new party agents and trained them on the proper way to vote, with a view to avoiding voids votes as was experienced in the Presidential election.
Others were Emmanuel Agbaje Yekini Idaiye Eric Okaka Micheal Ohio-Ezo Oshoma Ahmed Kingsley Ugabi . “With all the 24 House of Assembly seats in our kitty, we are determined as a party, to put our best foot forward in the gubernatorial election, come 2020. The rising profile of our party under Obaseki is phenomenal, and Edo people have spoken that they appreciate his people-focused policies and programmes.”
