The Peoples Democratic Party has raked in N175 million from the sales of nomination and expression of interest forms to five aspirants for the Edo State governorship election.

The PUNCH reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission fixed September 21, 2024, for the state governorship election.

According to a schedule of activities of the election released by the PDP, the congress where its governorship candidate will emerge will be held on February 22, 2024.

Consequently, the PDP on Wednesday in Abuja began the sale of nomination and expression of interest forms to party members aspiring to the Edo governorship seat.

The expression of interest form is N5 million while the nomination form is N30 million.

Cumulatively, an aspirant is expected to pay N35 million.

With five aspirants who have already purchased the forms, the PDP has raked in N175 million into its coffer.

The daughter of Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, Blessing, was the first PDP aspirant from Edo to pick the forms at party headquarters, Wadata House, Abuja on Wednesday.

Other aspirants who picked the PDP nomination and expression of interest forms on Thursday are the Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, Asue Ighodalo, Felix Akhabue, and Anslem Ojezua.

This life no balance my people,all the Edo no be Lagos crowd have suddenly gone quiet
The same Godfatherism that the Governor fought tooth and nail to dismantle is exactly what he is trying to rebuild
We all know the Governor's preferred candidate and all this people that bought forms are all pawns who will step down on the Day of the primary for the Governor's preferred candidate
The biggest loser in all this is the Deputy Governor,he will eat the humble pie by force
He is just being tolerated in PDP and I am confident that he will soon decamp to another party to fulfil his ambition

I have been pondering over a thought and want to ask people on the forum
Funke Akindele's movie" A tribe called Judah" is being celebrated for being the first Nollywood movie to cross the 1 billion naira mark,Femi Otedola gave away 1 billion naira to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF)
My question is this: Who is a Billionaire,is it the one that makes a Billion or the one that gives away a Billion

And you expect them to get there and not rob you blind?

Nigerian democracy is a huge bad joke

😁

You'd pay ₦35m to contest for an office your annual salary is about ₦11.5m according to the link provided below.

that one nor get pass 9 votes, from her family members

PDP, the looters party.

They can have states, but never again will they smell Aso Rock. Nonsense party.

Shaibu is just wasting his time and resources.

You are right.... but I think the BEST MAN should win. Edo State has bright minds but sadly, it isn't reflected in the standard of living of the citizens.

On twitter someone said Edo no dey carry last, if everyone behaved like Benin people, Nigeria would have improved.

looking at the state that looks like an outdoor shrine,
looking at the fact that an Igbenedion is contesting, I dare say, Edo naa last.

Alot of people here are just to say half truth to support their own beliefs.
It is time for Edo central to lead.
This could just bring the development the state needs. After all both North and South failed .

They better sell more forms.

Father Xmas Wike no gree for anybody again.

this is not a godfatherism matter
we all have agreed that Edo central produce the next governor.
Philip Shaibu contesting is making Obaseki to do whatever he is doing and we all support him
if Shaibu did not contest, Obaseki wont be putting his mouth in all of these
without Obaseki and the Esans combining to produce a single candidate, shaibu will win landslide

it is different from what oshiomole did
Oshiomole deputy is from Edo south like Obaseki but Oshiomole frustrated him to install Obaseki

if all the major aspirants are from Edo Central and Obaseki is siding one of them, we would have resisted him
simple

Do you actually know the meaning of godfather? Supporting someone to get a job is not godfather. It only becomes godfather after you have helped him in getting the job and you start to control him, you will be the one to decide how he should do the job and try to control him in proxy and to some extent demands some percentage of some revenue he got as a settlement. For now, you can't call it godfather .

I am from Edo state and i can tell u people are not thinking about power rotation.I used to be an advocate of esan until recently i realised over 90% of Edo voters don't care about power rotation. It's only PDP that will give esan governorship ticket. Both APC and LP are going Edo south.

That's how you guys shift goal post.To try to intimidate your deputy and impose your preferred candidate is not godfatherism again?

How many of u agreed Edo central should produce the next Governor of Edo state? Where was the meeting held and Edo people decided to zone governorship to Edo central?

Everyone, including tou knows she no follow. She jus had to the number and who will not collect her money for form.

No body is saying power should not shift to Edo Central, but must it be the Governor that should be pushing for a particular candidate from that zone? Why not allow a level playing ground for all aspirants from the zone?

Please check the meaning of godfather first before disputing my claim, and if you want to counter my line of argument, please be logical.

Edo no be Lagos
There is nothing wrong with a governor having a preferred candidate to replace him. The difference between Edo and Lagos is that the 3 candidates (PDP, LP , APC) will fight it out on a level playing field. Obaseki can only influence the candidate of the PDP, nothing more. No 'MC Olumo' type characters will be going around whipping and attacking people who do not vote PDP, as happned in Lagos.

It is what it is bro
Any party that didn't produce someone from Edo central as their candidate is just wasting time
