*Plot to scuttle Edo PDP ad hoc delegate congresses fails as NWC replaces Gov. Makinde with Gov. Mbah.*

A flurry of last minute petitions by 9 ‘Legacy Coalition’ governorship aspirants has failed to stop the PDP ad hoc delegate congresses currently taking place across the 192 wards in Edo State.

There were fears that Gov, Makinde’s shock resignation as Chairman of the Electoral Committee would derail the congresses late last night; but the National Working Committee (NWC) quickly resolved the issue with the reconstitution of a new electoral committee headed by Gov. Peter Mba of Enugu State.

The National Organizing Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Umar Bature also responded to Gov. Makinde in a curt letter, dismissing Gov. Makinde’s allegations that the congresses were being improperly constituted and reminding Makinde that not only did the Party abide by the letters of the law in organizing the congresses; all aspirants will be provided with the opportunity to appeal the outcome of the process.

In Edo state, PDP members turned out in high numbers to pick their delegates; a consequence of the high interest voters have taken in the high profile Edo Governorship race. Across the wards too, peace was maintained by large contingents of police officers and members of the Edo Security Network who were very conspicuous at the venues.

Congresses have been completed in parts of Edo State including Ikpoba Okha, the local government with the highest number of registered voters in Edo State.

The actions of the Chief Dan Orbih led Legacy Coalition of aspirants - Hon. Ogbeide-Ihama, Chief Anslem Ojezua, the deputy governor Comrade Philip Shaibu, Omosede Igbinedion, Hon. Felix Akhabue and four others - are reminiscent of the actions taken by the same Legacy group in the lead-up to the 2023 general elections where the PDP congresses and primaries in Edo State were contested and litigated up to the Supreme Court, with Gov. Obaseki’s group eventually emerging victorious.

good one.

Asuen ighodalo is coming....... I am a Benin man but I support the office to be rotated and I support it's should go to esan central, inrespective of the parties.....

PDP should just ax the G5 (now reduced to G1 with the 4 of Wike, Ortom, Ikpeazu and their Enugu counterpart, useless).

Shaibu and co have failed before the start

No matter the blackmail by Shaibu, Asue Ighodalo will win the primaries and eventually become the Governor of Edo state.

How can you have an Asue and you will think of making Shaibu a Governor. Are they on same level?

Edo is not a state known to make nonentities Governors.

Check out the antecedents of past Edo Governors

Obaseki na hard man sha.

He seems to be having his way politically..


I wish he can borrow Fubara his liver after the Edo Governorship primaries, let Fubara use it for 6 months in Rivers state.

Once Mbah chairs that Congress, Ighodalo is the Candidate.

Wat is wrong wit makinde sef

I wonder the end game of these rouge party men

Exactly.

SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS THIS:
My friend is selling the newly cleared:
Benz GLA 250 2015 American Spec. for N24.5million only. You get your commission if you quickly get Buyer for it before another does. The wonder on wheels is currently in his place at Banana Island, Lagos.

Local match,edo should try n elect a good looking man this time around.

governor Peter mbah is the chairman now. Ighodalo will win the Pdp governorship primary election now. All the delegates in the 3 senatorial district will votes for Ighodalo governorship candidacy

Hb

Philip Shuaibu should just go rest and why is Makinde behaving like a Charlatan, which party will put APC in check if opposition party stalwarts are working against the interest of their own party?

Reporting Live: Kidnappers now knock door to door to kidnap people in Asaba.

Tinubulation.....

Lol .......I predicted the balkanization of Edo PDP from the congress. It has begun effectively. The legacy group will never work with Asue. Never!

I just pity Asue Ighodalo. He'll obviously suffer for the sins of Obaseki.

Okay

Very funny people as usua. Because of Obaseki, godfather is now allow in Edo. The same people that cried against it in the last election now support it just to humiliate deputy governor.

U don't know anything about edo politics bro just relax.
Godfafherism doesn't want here. One man can help u to become governor but won't dictate for u how to run your government.
Obaseki propose Asue and we liked him.... that's why we are voting him. Obaseki has no right over our votes

Esan central here we come😋

Is makinde still PDP member?

NovusHomo:

True. Dat Obaski guy dey fugly.
