People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has reaffirmed its resolve to reclaim the mandate it claimed was “duly given to it by the people of Edo State in the last governorship election.”
This is the aftermath of its meeting last Friday convened at the instance of the Chairman, State Caretaker Committee, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi and which had in attendance key members of the party which included its candidate in the last governorship election, Dr. Asue Ighodalo and the local government party chairmen along with members of the State Caretaker Committee.
In a communique signed by Henry Tenebe, the Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, it called “for the continuous support and prayers of all party faithful and the people of Edo State as PDP and its candidate progress on this arduous journey.”
Among many others the meeting acknowledged and deeply appreciated the commitment, loyalty, and steadfastness of party members and faithful supporters across Edo State, urging them never to relent in their support and prayers for the party and its leadership.
The attendees expressed grave concern over the current state of Edo under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration. The party observed with dismay that the State has suffered significant setback in the last few months.
The PDP reaffirmed its unshakable commitment to the rule of law and upholding constitutional democracy in the State. The party strongly believes that law, order and security are essential for the peace, progress and development of Edo State and Nigeria as a whole.
The party chairmen unanimously passed a vote of implicit confidence in the State Caretaker Committee led by Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, and the party’s candidate in the last governorship election, Dr. Asue Ighodalo. They commended both leaders for their outstanding leadership and exemplary efforts in piloting the affairs of the party in the state, which according to them “have fostered unity and progress in the Edo State Chapter of the PDP.”
