Governor Obaseki has emerged PDP candidate for Edo 2020 unchallenged.
Onyxnews Nigeria reports that the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has emerged the governorship candidate of Nigeria’s opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for Edo 2020 election.
The governor’s succeeding as the Edo PDP governorship candidate for Edo 2020 came after his only rival in the PDP primary election, Ken Imasuagbon, stepped down for the Edo Governor to return not opposed.
Imasuagbon, who had previously promised not to step down for Obaseki before the primary election, announced his withdrawal from the governorship race a few minutes to the start of the party Governorship Primaries for the governorship election slated for September 2020.
However, Obaseki’s only rival, Imasuagbon has stepped down from the contest where 2,229 delegates will choose the PDP governorship flagbearer.
Onyxnews Nigeria understands that voting will still go on for affirmation of Obaseki’s candidacy and all is set for voting to begin in the PDP Primary election at the Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City, where the Edo Governor who joined PDP after he was disqualified by the APC Screening Committee will emerge the PDP for Edo 2020 unchallenged.
