As Ogbeide Ihama loses out of Edo PDP primaries, Orbih, Ihama, others move to NNPP

Following the inability of the member of the House of Representatives representing Oredo Federal Constituency, Hon. Ogbeide Ihama to secure the ticket of the Edo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Edo South Senatorial zone, Vice Chairman of the PDP in the South-South, Chief Dan Orbih, alongside Hon. Ihama and other members of the PDP loyal to Orbih have begun move to decamp to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Hon. Ogbeide Ihama managed to secure only one vote out of the 227 votes cast at the Daniel Obiora-led five-man PDP Senatorial Primary Election Committee for Edo South Senatorial ticket conducted on Monday, May 23, 2022, at the indoor sports complex of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.

Having lost his ticket, the two-term member of the House of Representatives for Oredo Federal Constituency alongside, Chief Dan Orbih, Harrison Omagbon and Hillary Otsu have reached out to a leader within the NNPP, Ibrahim Kwankwaso ahead of the decamping move to the party.

According to a source close to Hon. Ihama, the active talks with Ibrahim Kwankwaso on the plans to dump the PDP for NNPP include an arrangement for Harrison Omagon to serve as Edo State Chairman of the NNPP, while Hillary Otsu acts as Secretary, and Ogbeide Ihama as the Edo South Senatorial Candidate of the NNPP for the 2023 elections.

But why should he win?

He wants to go for third term

Is he the only one from that constituency?

Make him allow others to go see what Abuja looks like na.

And it’s not as if Obaseki forced the hands of the delegates to vote against him.

But las las, Obaseki get problem

This is the Fake Factional Primary. Hon. Ihama will never leave a Party he fought for, for an Ordinary Decampee.

They should decamp fast fast. Edo no bi Kano ... only one vote each for NNPP be dat.

This present PDP chairman is not working at all. So many people are leaving PDP at the time they are needed, and he is not making any effort to reconcile them.
Look at kano, Osun, Rivers, Edo. He is only occupied with the presidential primaries, as everything stops there

The bold can't be true. . A whole hon. Ogbeide-Ihama? He has the financial means to buy delegates' votes.
On a more serious note, the Edo PDP is always plagued by crisis, which has been so since the time when Professor Osunbor was the governor of the state in 2007/2008. Having returned to power after many years of playing opposition, the leaders should have managed the crisis and not pitched tents with different gladiators.
Btw, the member who is representing Orhionmwon's federal constituents should remain invisible o. I get my reason.
