By Simeon Osajie

Edo People's Democratic Party (PDP) has held more sensitization and strategic meetings has received and welcomed more decampees from the APC and other parties in many wards and local government areas across the state.

In Ekperi, wards 6, 7, and 8 of Etsako Central local government area over 1000 people attended the meeting. 

Addressing the mammoth crowd, the Edo North Senatorial Coordinator for Edo 2020 Campaign Council, Hon. Pascal Ugbome, spoke of the sterling qualities of Governor Godwin Obaseki. 

Hon. Ugbome spoke about the need to brainstorm on how to give governor Obaseki maximum support come September 19 governorship election and received very favorable responses and commitments from the attendees. They resolved that Ekperi was satisfied with Governor Obaseki and promised to deliver over 80% of registered voters to PDP. They disclosed that only a few APC was left in Ekperi.

In Iyoba, ward 3 of Orhionmwon local government area, the carnival like atmosphere was ignited as PDP led by the state Vice Chairman Edo South, Barr. Nosa Ogieva, received and welcomed APC members who have decided to join PDP to support Governor Obaseki's re-election.

The decampees said they were joining the PDP so as to give  maximum support to Governor Obaseki in appreciation of the excellent work he is doing. They spoke about the elimination of double taxation by thugs in the previous APC government and how the unwholesome practice was stopped by Godwin Obaseki's administration. 

They mentioned the impressive developmental stride the state was witnessing as well as the growth in economic indicators and Governor Obaseki's famed prudent management of resources. They condemned in strong words the way and manner he was treated in APC because he put Edo people First!

The new PDP family members rejected the return of the state to a hypothetical party immersed in corruption. They used the NDDC and EFCC allegations as cases in point!

Presents at both meetings were, party leaders, executives, Hon Paschal Ugbome, Hon Larry Ogieva amongst others.
