Chief Dan Orbih and Governor Godwin ObasekiThe Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has called on members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state to unite after Wednesday’s Supreme Court judgement.
In a statement on Wednesday, the governor said the ruling of the Supreme Court had finally put to rest the long-drawn legal tussle over the candidates that would fly the flag of the PDP in Edo State in the general election on February 25 and March 11, 2023. He added, “As the leader of the party in the state, I implore all members to consider this development as the end of all strife within the Edo PDP and to note that this is a victory for all members. Our resolve now is to win the forthcoming general elections as this experience has made us stronger and better prepared to clinch victory.
“This disagreement which has now been amicably resolved attests to the maturity of actors who as law-abiding party members have subjected themselves to and accepted the verdict of the courts. “As there are no victors or vanquished in this issue, I want to call on all members of our party to come together to speak with one voice against the real opponents since our party is big enough to accommodate our various interests.
