Auchi (Edo) – The Vice Chairman of the Edo chapter of the PDP, Mr Johnson Abolagba, says the party is set to reclaim the state, having conducted a very successful governorship primary election.
Abolagba made the remark in Auchi.
The PDP Chieftain, who is also a former member of the House of Representatives, said the PDP would emerge victorious in the state’s governorship election scheduled for July 14.
He said the party’s governorship candidate, retired Maj.-Gen. Charles Airhiavbere, was a man whose antecedents would help in securing a landslide victory for the party.
“With Gen. Airiavbere, PDP will win the governorship election if we work hard and put our house in other.
“Edo remains a PDP state and there is nothing stopping us from winning it because all what Oshiomhole has succeeded in doing is cosmetic beautification of roads in the state,” he said.
Speaking on the primaries conducted in Benin, Abolagba called on the defeated aspirants to work with the party’s flagbearer to ensure victory for the party in the election.
He advised them to take solace in the fact that Airiavbere’s victory was not for himself alone, but for the party as a whole.
“We should all be happy and join hands with the victor because the primaries remain one of the best things to have happened to the party in recent times,” he said.
Airiavbere defeated four other aspirants including the state’s former governor, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, Mr Mathew Uduoiyekhemwen and Mr Kenneth Imasuagbon to emerge victorious. (NAN)
