I, as always, remain committed to engendering good governance and sustainable development of our dear state.
In a statement

the party’s platform.
They urged Obaseki
to “use the PDP as a vehicle to enthrone rapid economic, social and
infrastructural development” in Edo.
“We welcome you to

Nigerians desirous of good governance, accountability and deepening of
democratic tenets.
“The PDP Governors
welcome you to use the PDP as a vehicle to enthrone rapid economic, social and
infrastructural development of Edo State.
“As you subject
yourself to the forthcoming primaries of the party, we wish you success and
God’s blessings and guidance.
“The Forum extends
the solidarity and support of your colleagues to you and all of your teeming
followers into the party and assures you all of accommodation and level playing
field.”
