Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has emerged winner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary.
Thus, he will contest against Ize-Iyamo, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the Edo State governorship election.
Obaseki emerged winner of the primary after two aspirants Kenneth Imasuagbon and Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama who were challenging him for the PDP ticket stepped down at the venue of the primary.
The governor’s senior special adviser on new media, Jack Obinyan, made the disclosure via his official Twitter handle.
“PDP Primaries Edo: In case you haven’t heard, @GovernorObaseki is returned UNOPPOSED, emerges as the flag bearer of the @OfficialPDPNig ahead of September 19, 2020 Gubernatorial Elections,” he wrote.
With the win, Governor Obaseki has gotten his second term ambitions on track.
Recall that Governor Obaseki had earlier resigned his membership of the APC in the wake of alleged intimidation by Adams Oshiomole.
Obaseki thrashed his membership card of the APC after holding talks with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday, June 16.
The governor’s resignation, which was followed by that of his deputy Philip Shaibu, came on the heels of a feud that has set Obaseki on warpath with his former godfather, Adams Oshiomhole.
