EDO PDP PRIMARY: Obaseki Shines

Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki has emerged PDP gubernatorial candidate for Edo 2020.

The Governor was returned unopposed after his only rival in the primary election, Ken Imasuagbon, stepped down for him.

Imasuagbon, who had previously vowed not to step down for Obaseki prior to the primary election, announced his withdrawal from the race a few minutes to the commencement of the party primaries for the governorship election scheduled for September 19, 2020.

Report has it that though Imasuagbon has stepped down from the contest where 2,229 delegates will choose the PDP governorship flagbearer, voting will still go on for the affirmation of Obaseki’s candidacy.
