Edo PDP Inaugurates Campaign Council With Orbih As Chair

The Edo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has inaugurated its Campaign Council for the 2020 governorship election with Chief Dan Orbih, national vice-chairman, South-South as chairman.

The secretary to the state government, Mr. Osarodion Ogie is to act as director-general of the campaign.

The campaign council, which was inaugurated at the party’s Secretariat in Benin City, on Tuesday, has notable members of the party drawn from the state’s three senatorial districts.

The inauguration was conducted in accordance with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) guidelines on social distancing, as key council executives were present at the venue while others joined via Zoom meeting platform.

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, said the inauguration signals the commencement of the formal process for the 2020 gubernatorial election in Edo State by the PDP.

On his part, Chairman of the Campaign Council, Chief Dan Orbih noted:“For this election, the PDP has the best candidate. I appreciate the governor more now that I have more information about his programmes and policies. He took over leadership of the government when the state owed its highest debt since creation, but through prudent management and financial discipline, he has reduced the state’s debt profile.

He continued: “We would not disappoint Edo people. I can feel what the people are feeling and their sentiments. We will deliver the governor in this election. Those who supported you in the past said you are the best man for the job but because you refused to open the vault, today they are against you. But I assure you that the people are with you.”
