The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has picked the current Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, as the running mate to its governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo.
Ogie is an appointee of Governor Godwin Obaseki, who is believed to be backing Ighodalo.
A top PDP chieftain in the state, who confirmed Ogie’s choice to The Punch on Tuesday, said it was believed that the SSG would give the party a chance of winning the September 21 governorship election in the state.
