Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said Friday’s ruling of the Supreme Court on the leadership crisis in the state’s chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will aid the party’s victory in the 2023 general election.
Obaseki, who made the remark while speaking to newsmen during an inspection tour of the Edo State Independent National Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) Headquarters project in Benin City, said the apex court’s judgement had put all issues concerning the party in the state to rest and paved the way for all members to work together to ensure success in the 2023 general election.
The Governor, who was accompanied by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Osarodion Ogie, and other top government functionaries, said members of PDP in the state belonged to one family and would work together.
“No matter the differences, we will all still carry the umbrella. As the Justice said, most of the actors are created by statutes of the law and they must follow the law. What we have just established is that things have to be done legally and properly.
“The Supreme Court judgement will help the party put all the issues at rest and come together as a family to mobilize and focus on the main agenda for the party now, which is to win the presidential election come 2023.
“We are one family and will work together, our differences notwithstanding. We will all still carry the umbrella. We are here to see the preparedness of EDSIEC in terms of their infrastructure to conduct the local government election,” Obaseki reassured.
