The Youth and Women wing of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Edo chapter, on Saturday kicked against the waiver granted Gov. Godwin Obaseki by the national leadership of the party.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the waiver was to enable the governor who just defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state into the main opposition PDP on Friday to contest in the party’s primary scheduled for Tuesday.

The youths under the auspices of PDP Youths for Justice, stated thier opposition in a press statement made available to newsmen in Benin.

The coordinator of the youth group, Musa Kadiri, warned the party leadership to reward loyalty instead of looking for opportunities.

Kadiri said the three aspirants; Ken Imasuagbon, Gideon Ikhine and Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, besides Obaseki, were capable of defeating any candidate the APC would present.

Kadiri stated that the PDP might witness implosion if Obaseki was given the ticket on a platter of gold.

“We, the youths on ground in Edo know that the PDP has positioned itself to win the forthcoming gubernatorial election.

“We do not need Obaseki who is chased out of the APC based on questionable credentials.”

Similarly the women wing of the party in Egor Local Government led by Mrs Imuwahen Osasu, said the Edo PDP did not need Obaseki.

They noted that the Edo governorship election slated for Sept. 19, provided another opportunity to reward those that have been loyal to the party for over 12 years that the party have been out of power in the state.

Meanwhile, some chieftains of the PDP in Edo Central senatorial district have backed the aspiration of Mr Kenneth Imasuangbon popularly known as ‘Rice Man’ to clinch the ticket of the party at the party primaries scheduled for June 23.

NAN reports that Imasuagbon had refused pressure to step down from the race for Obaseki.

The Edo Central PDP chieftains in a press statement said their for Imasuangbon was based on the need for the party to reward loyalty and commitment.

Speaking on behalf of the PDP chieftains from the five local government areas in Edo Central, Mr Solomon Eboigbe, urged Imasuagbon not to accept any offer to step down from the race.

Eboigbe said they have consulted widely across the state and the verdict from the people was the choice of Imasuangbon as their preferred candidate.

Who is stopping him from coming? Only thing Obaseki needs is social distancing rules must be obey. Any disobedience will lead to party scatter
Meanwhile their candidates risks disqualification

The only 3 letter word in the dictionary with different alphabet that means disame thing and has been proven mathematically is

APC=PDP

What am I saying sef. See landgrabbers sorry Landover for sale

This one want to cash out from APC. GOOD LUCK MUSA but relocate away from edo to save your life and family.

I keep saying it.If Buhari decides to move over to pdp today, they'll welcome him with open arms.

I cry when I see youths fight over both of them

Both pdp and apc are pure hustlers hustling for there share of national cake.

Both APC and PDP are presently oiling the machinery that would be deployed to massively rig the forthcoming election.....may the "better rigger win".

They want to be settled. Obaseke should do the needful

They're looking for their own share of the money. Obaseki should do the needful and silent their mouths.
