With the successful and peaceful conclusion of our party- the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Primaries, now is an appropriate time to address an issue concerning our former Aspirant Rt. Hon (Engr.) Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama which borders on Reported Financial Inducements he allegedly received to ‘step-down’ his ambition in favour of the Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, who is our Party’s Gubernatorial Candidate for the coming Edo State Election. The vision that drove the Candidacy of our Aspirant was one that was to midwife the birth of a Society and Governance System where things will be done differently, and negative norms will be replaced with systems that are founded on Integrity, Strong Character, and the ability to insist and stand on due Process and Decent Principles. Our Aspirant Rt. Hon (Engr.) Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama symbolized all of the virtues we believe are needed for the kind of Order we sought to establish in our State’s Governance Space.

Gani Audu is one of those elected Edo state House of Assembly members in the last election, which has abandoned their constituency after the people of Etsako West came out en mass to vote him during the last House of Assembly General election. Ever since his emergence as house of assembly member, Gani Audu has decided to represent his godfather (Adams Oshiomhole) in Abuja instead of him representing those who voted him in. Till today this same Gani Audu has failed his people woefully for not appearing before Edo state House Assembly for inauguration. Hence no Etsako person or Edo state people at large should cast his or her vote for such a dishonorable person that values godfather more than his people. Edo people should all shine their eyes and don't be deceive again by those who preferred worshipping godfather than to worship his or her people that stood for him during rain and sun to cast their votes. Leopard can never change, hence if voted again, will abandoned his peopl...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes the outright lie by Kogi state Governor Yahaya Bello, that some PDP governors are planning to cross over to the crisis-ridden All Progressives Congress (APC), as childish, laughable and pathetic. The party says such peddling of falsehood explains why nobody in Nigeria and beyond takes Governor Bello seriously. The PDP lampooned Governor Bello's claim as a desperate attempt to divert public attention from the imminent mass exodus from the APC. Nigerians are aware that among the ranks of APC governors, Governor Bello has no personal relationship with up to three of his colleagues. No APC governor is ready to associate with Governor Bello openly. In other words, not up to three APC governors take him seriously. Moreover, Governor Bello has no relationship of any sorts with any governor elected on the platform of the PDP. His current delusion, on national television, about PDP governors, is driven by his usual character of engaging in...

Today marks a defining moment in our political history as a state and by extension as a country. Our story is one of courage in the midst of contrived crisis and ultimate triumph over retrogressive forces that are determined to hijack our state for their selfish endeavours. I salute the PDP and all Edo people at home and abroad as well as our friends in other states for standing by the belief that a better Edo State is possible if we allow the people, not an overbearing godfather to lead. I implore you to keep the faith as there is more work ahead. As children of God, we will be magnanimous in victory, but we will not forget where the rains beat us and where we were provided with shelter. I thank you. Godwin Enogheghase Obaseki Governor, Edo State.
