I thought pascal ugbome is the candidate of pdp

fergie001:

NWC wants Alimikhena...

iCauseTrouble:
The youths don't care if you're Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba or from other tribes, we ONLY care about competency. Until you find us someone more competent, we are choosing Peter Obi.

Indispensable85:
Obaseki's faction

FirstSon01:
So Oshimole really pushed this man out of the party.
Hope he wins with APC rigging machinery in that side.

It's good, it'll affect him too now.

garfield1:


No,there was already a primary won by pascal ugbome..any other thing won't stand

fergie001:

NWC wants Alimikhena...

garfield1:


I think he's of orbih faction.alimikhena is a very ungrateful and useless fellow

Tareq1105:


He cannot defeat Oshiomole. The people still prefer Oshiomole bcoz of developmental projects and programs he carried out when he was Gov.

Indispensable85:



Nahhhhhh....... alimekhena is obaseki's faction.

Indispensable85:



They're not in the same faction.
Alimekhena is obaseki's faction candidate
Pascal ogbomhe is Dan orbih faction candidate.

The woman that withdrew was the former candidate of the obaseki's faction. That's the person alimekhena replaced. But in their usual clever by half manner, they added Pascal's name and gave him 4 votes to create the erroneous impression that he also participated in the primary. Anyways non of them stand a chance against oshiomhole in Edo north senatorial district.

fergie001:

Story... The NWC cancelled that one and fixed this one monitored by INEC. It stands...as I speak to you some in Osun, Ebonyi etc were also rescheduled.

Indispensable85:
They're not in the same faction.
Alimekhena is obaseki's faction candidate
Pascal Ogbome is Dan orbih faction candidate.

garfield1:


The primary can be nullified

fergie001:

I agree and know the obvious political manoeuvres been employed:..

The PDP had in a letter dated June 3rd, 2022 and signed by the National Organizing Secretary of the Party, Hon. Umar Bature and addressed to the State Chairman of the Party, Tony Aziegbemi, said a Senatorial Primary would be conducted on Saturday (yesterday) by a five-man committee headed by Sir Daniel Obiora.

The NWC of a Party was involved and it was monitored by INEC officials.

FirstSon01:


It will be soon. The one they did in Central was nullified in court, Orbih's faction won

FirstSon01:


Lol, that doesn't count. Inec always collects money and will be present in both parallel primaries
