*I’m not leaving PDP for anyone; accept my leadership or leave – Obaseki to detractors*

*_…Edo sets for council polls, as PDP registers over 539,000 members_*

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, at the weekend, said he has no plan of defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), urging anyone who is uncomfortable with his leadership of the party to leave.

The governor, who stated that the party is now fully harmonized, stressed that the constitution of the party bequeaths him with the leadership of the party in the state, a position which is not up for contest by anyone.

Obaseki said this during an expanded caucus meeting of leaders and members of the PDP in the state.

“I can't leave PDP. I will not decamp from the PDP; we will always win any election. PDP won in the last election and we will continue to win all elections in the state and country; nothing will stop us as a party,” he said.

The governor noted that the forthcoming local government election in the state will set the template for next year’s national and legislative elections, urging party members to reflect on the elections and work in unity to ensure victory in the polls.

He noted, “There is no division in Edo PDP. Let the party be open to accommodate others. PDP is democratic. The hallmark of democracy is ensuring that the majority has their way, as the minority can't dictate to the people.

"I heard that Chief Dan Orbih went around, saying there is no harmonization in Edo PDP. This is really irresponsible to say and an insult to members of the party, as the party has truly harmonised in the state.

"PDP in Edo State is harmonised because before we made any appointments in any ward, we made sure the party at that level was harmonised. We are gathered here now as election timetable is out; harmonisation has been done, appointments made and we are ready to win any election before us.”

Obaseki disclosed that the PDP National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu will visit the state on Thursday 10th of March 2022, urging party leaders to bring along five percent of newly registered members to welcome the party chair.

"Politics is not about fighting but dialogue and discussion. I urge us to collaborate and unite to move the party and state forward,” he charged.

Noting that over 539,000 members have been registered in the ongoing e-registration exercise, Obaseki said, “These numbers are not fabricated as we have the data, pictures, emails and phone numbers of members of the party we have registered so far. You have broken records as this is the bastion of PDP in Nigeria. We have changed the face of politics in Nigeria.”

He continued: “I didn't give leaders any resources to mobilize them but rather they challenged themselves and achieved the goal to register more members in the state.”

"Some people went around saying people should not join our party. No true party man will do that. Those that engaged in that are not true members of the party and don't belong to Edo PDP. If not, they will not push people away from the party.”

"Our focus now is on how to engage our members, making them participate in the policy-making process of the party. We don't need to wait for an election before we act."

Charging detractors sponsoring disunity in the state to stop forthwith, the governor stated, "Edo is Edo, leave Edo State alone. They have tried us in battle, and have been made to know that we are battle-ready. We have been tested and trusted. We must always win elections; we must always win as a party.

The Chairman PDP Edo State, Anthony Aziegbemi, noted that “Edo State is the only state in the nation that has surpassed the 500,000 thresholds for e-registration of the party.”

Others at the meeting include the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu; Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly (EDHA), Hon. Marcus Onobun; Senator Matthew Urhoghide; Senator Clifford Odia; Chief Tom Ikimi; Hon. Joe Edionwele and National Youth Deputy Leader of PDP, Timothy Osadolor, among others.

Obaseki my nigga...

But we need more security in the state and i know you gon fix it.

PDP sold their diginity for crumbs

In a real democracy flagbearers and elected officials hold party members in high esteem and understands party supremacy because the party hold the mandate and he represents all party members interest and ideology

The Bush family of Texas never supported Donald Trump's excesses but Donald Trump dare not confront them or call himself their leader because he knows they don't owe him a dime and they are only loyal to Republican party and United States

Good for PDP.God bless me

Dan Orbih and his group should accept defeat or leave PDP for Obaseki. They have clearly lost out. This is what happens when you sell your birthright for a pot of pottage.
