The Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged members of the party in Edo State to remain united in their course to reclaim leadership in the state.
In a statement on Friday, the Chairman of the PDP BOT, Senator Walid Jibrin made the appeal, following the emergence of the incumbent Governor, Godwin Obaseki as the party’s flagbearer for the September governorship election in the state.
Senator Jibrin congratulated the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP and the Governors’ Forum of the party for their tireless efforts in bringing Obaseki into the party, while appealing to members of the party across the country to take advantage of the current opportunity and form a strong coalition.
He asked them to unite against the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the next general elections.
Gideon Ikhine, one of the PDP aspirant who earlier stepped down for the governor, noted on Friday, in reaction to the successful exercise of the party’s primary poll, “We are one. It’s time to get our house in order. PDP ?? all the way.”

Obaseki will now go against his 2016 rival who contested under the platform of the PDP but defected to the APC and secured the ruling party’s ticket, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
