PDP sets up committee to reconcile Shaibu, Ighodalo, others after Edo governorship primary fiasco

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has set up a post-primary election reconciliation committee to reconcile all aggrieved members to work for the party’s victory in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State.

The duo of the Edo State Deputy Governor, Phillip Shaibu, and former chairman of the Nigeria Breweries, Asue Ighodalo, won separate governorship primaries held in the state on February 23.

However, the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) had since recognized Ighodalo as the party’s governorship candidate in the election and presented to him the certificate of return last Tuesday in Abuja.
