The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki has emerged winner
of the primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP which held on
Thursday.
Obaseki will now fly the party’s flag as candidate for the
September’s governorship election with the highest votes of 1,952 out of total
accredited votes of 2024. 72 votes were, however, invalid.
Why reacting to his victory, Mr Obaseki said he would not
disappoint the people of the state for the confidence reposed on him. He said
he believed that by the grace of God, he will be governor of Edo State for
another four years.
”Today makes a defining moment for our dear state. With
today’s election result, it is clear that there is no mountain. I thank my
family for the encouragement.
”I salute all our party members for standing tall when it
became necessary to do so.
”I almost quit running for a second tenure all because of
overbearing god-father, but the PDP cover provided us with the umbrella when it
was heavily raining. Kenneth Imasuagbon and others made this possible.
Earlier, chairman of the PDP committee in Edo Guber primary
election, Gov Balla Muhammed of Bauchi state while delivering his opening
address congratulated other aspirants who out of the overall interest of the
party stepped down for the incumbent.
According to him, ”I want to salute the courage of other
aspirants who stepped down for my colleague, Governor Obaseki.”
