Ahead of the Edo State governorship election slated for September, Igbo Women Community in the state have defected to PDP from APC. The women led by Mrs Blessing Ahoruonye were received in Benin by the PDP State Women leader, Mrs Lindsay Sorea.

Mrs Blessing Ahoruonye said that they were joining the PDP so they can offer maximum support to Governor Obaseki in appreciation of the excellent work he is doing. She referenced the elimination of double and over-taxation by thugs in the previous APC government and stopped since the start of Godwin Obaseki’s administration. She also mentioned the impressive developmental stride been witnessed in the state as well as the economic expansion that has positively influenced the rate of consumption and his prudent management of resources.

She expressed fear that if Governor Obaseki’s Administration is disrupted, “God forbid” they believe that the state will go back to the “hands of thugs, brutal tax collectors and servicing of Godfathers at the detriment of development and ease of doing business.” She rejects the return of the state to a party immersed in corruption while citing recent NDDC and EFCC allegations amongst others. She affirmed that they have vowed to vote for PDP and Governor Obaseki to ensure that the train is not derailed. According to her, ” we the Ibo Community in Edo state have realized our past mistakes and we are fully ready to correct it this time by voting PDP”

Igbo women in Edo as if Edo is a fulani state

Political inclined people in Lagos got a lot to learn from people of Edo.

We know IPOBS anywhere they are will vote for PDP... That ain't news..

That's the simple truth,agberoism,thugry and illegal tax collection is too much in Edo state,these are the things Obaseki stopped that brought hatred and witch hunting upon him.no thanks to comrade Adams.The people living in the state knows the truth.OBASEKI 4 X 4! ! !

Igbos are the highest stakeholders in PDP

Edo is not igboland

PDP corruption and exploitation has ended in Edo

This is the plain truth! I don’t have much else to add but to say, the widely labeled thief & fake pastor represents the interest of the few aggrieved who were profiting from those evils & wanted them to continue. But Edo sons and daughters have vowed not to return to Egypt hence the popular rejection of Ize yam yam their!

Oya go and edit it anu

I can't help but wonder, will they still vote for Obaseki if he's in APC.
And pls which matters most between supporting governor based on performance or supporting based on Party?

Good job... Anambra Ist son

Now that they have openly declared their support for Obaseki, I hope they are ready to damn the consequences should things go south with their candidate.
Because there's no coming back from this, that's why in politics,its always good to keep your options open. But then again we all have different strategies, I just hope if this decision of theirs backfires no one will come here and tell us things like, "we are being marginalised in Edo"

Edo is not an Igbo state
