The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has emerged as the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the September gubernatorial election in Edo State.

He was announced after ratification by party delegates following the withdrawal of his main rival, Kenneth Imasuagbon.

With this development, Mr Obaseki will face his main rival, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at the main election.

At least seven other parties have concluded their primaries and selected candidates for the governorship election, according to the electoral commission, INEC.

Obaseki never wanted to leave. Oshiomohle sent him packing. Osagie ize-iyamu is a political harlot. They're 2 different scenarios. Had obaseki been allowed to participate in the primaries, he wouldn't have left the party.

Forward ever backward never
Anything to end Godfatherism is allowed
I love men with balls

The new Jagaban in Edo. When a man dethrones a king, he either takes over or hands over to another. But when a man dethrones a Jagaban and a Godfather, he assumes the role of the new Jagaban.

Obaseki ... the giant killer. Dethroned two giants with one stone.

Just like his ancestors stood up against the British invaders, Obaseki did not disappoint. Bravery is in the blood, so also is cowardice. In some climes, their leaders chicken out, but in the South South we fight and bravery runs in our veins.

Weldone Obaseki!!! Weldone!!! They say there is battle or war ahead ... with who? As a political neophyte, you defeated the son of Ize-Iyamu who has been in politics and government for over a decade. You will defeat him and his co-travellers again now that you have decimated the political giants that were backing him.

Go in this thy strength and courage for Victory is assured!!!
