Chairman of Edo State PDP, Anthony Aziegbemi, had earlier  petitioned Prince Uche Secondus, the PDP national chairman, to stop Governor Obaseki from carrying out his alleged plan to dissolve the state executive.

After an emergency and expanded State Working Committee meeting at the weekend, Aziegbemi and Secretary, Hillary Otsu, re­solved to petition the nation­al leadership of the party on the need to stop dissolution of the party Exco.

The aggrieved Exco that said if Obaseki wanted to harmonise PDP in the state, as he claimed, it should start from his office, also demanded replacement of the Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, and Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Osarodion Ogie, with orig­inal PDP members.

More News Reveal that governor Obaseki  wants the cur­rent executive dissolved and a new election conducted, a position the PDP leadership in the state is vehemently opposed to.

According to them, Obaseki who is not comfort­able with the present PDP leadership in the state is desirous of having Anselm Ojezua, former All Progres­sives Congress (APC) chair­man in Edo, as the new PDP chairman in the state.

Ojezua, a fiercely loyal supporter of Obaseki de­fected from the APC to PDP in December 2020 with over 150,000 members. He cited loss of confidence in APC national leadership and al­leged disobedience to the party’s constitution as his reasons for leaving.

Speaking with Daily Inde­pendent on Wednesday, one of the leaders said Obaseki who is now the leader of PDP in Edo State by virtue of his position wants his men to be in charge of the party affairs.

“Yes, the governor wrote to the PDP national leader­ship asking for a dissolu­tion of the current execu­tive and a fresh election to be conducted. The reason he gave was that there were too many factions in the party.

“But the truth is that the current PDP leadership led by Aziegbemi knows that if a fresh election is to be conducted today, they stand no chance of returning be­cause whoever is the can­didate of the governor will win.

Saraki panel to meet Edo PDP feuding members

Following growing tension in the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Committee, the Senator Bukola Saraki-led PDP National Reconciliation and Strategy Committee is to meet party stakeholders in the state.

Tom Ikimi, a leader of the PDP in his response , backed the activities of Edo state Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.

He also discredited the congress that brought in Dr. Tony Aziegbemi and his other EXCO, describing it as mere charade.

Obaseki Makes U-Turn, Resolves Dispute With PDP

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has reportedly met with the State Working Committee (SWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to resolve the crisis that was threatening to erupt.

Recall that the State Chairman and Secretary of the party, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi and Hillary Otsu, respectively, had in a letter to the National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, accused Obaseki of holding meeting on 8 May, with Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, Tom Ikimi and Mike Oghiadomhe, where it was resolved that the leadership of the party from the ward to the state level be dissolved to accommodate Governor Godwin Obaseki’s loyalists who came with him from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
