PDP Considers Obaseki, Shifts Edo Governorship Primary
Apparently considering the entering of Governor Godwin Obaseki who newly joined its fold, though yet to officially announced it, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have shifted the party governorship primary in Edo to June 23.
Obaseki had on Monday resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), alongside his deputy, Comrade Phillip Shaibu, three days after, the party’s screening committee disqualified him from partaking in its primary over purported discrepancy in his academic qualification.
He is expected to officially declare his membership of the PDP on Saturday.
On Thursday, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), apparently having Obaseki in mind, postponed the Edo state governorship primary election earlier scheduled for Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20, 2020 to a new date of Tuesday, June 23, 2020.
In a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, said that the decision is predicated on exigencies of party activities.
“All governorship aspirants, critical stakeholders, party faithful and our teeming supporters, particularly in Edo state, are to take note accordingly.
“Our party wishes to remind our members that all activities shall be in accordance with the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC)’s guidelines on COVID -19, as it concerns social/physical distancing at public gatherings”, Ologbondiyan, said in the statement.
