The bid of the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Comrade Philip Shaibu, suffered a major setback today as the PDP leadership in his own senatorial district – Edo North – came together at the residence of Chief Oghiadomhe to endorse the candidacy of Barr. Asue Ighodalo.
In a grainy video clip, Sen. Yisa Baimoh was seen leading the motion to adopt Barr. Ighodalo. The question, when put to the leaders and party executives from the 6 local government areas by Hon. Johnson Abolagba, was unanimously adopted. Hon. Abolagba then advised Edo Central PDP party members to follow the lead of Edo North and similarly present Barr. Asue Ighodalo as their consensus candidate ahead of the Party primaries on the 3rd of February.
