Edo PDP: Obaseki Appeals For Calm After Supreme Court Victory

Governor Godwin Obaseki has called for calm in the face of the seething rage from the Dan Orbih led mainstream of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Edo State following the Supreme Court judgment that determined the candidates of the party in favour of the governor’s faction.

Appealing for calm and unity in the face of the judgment, Governor Obaseki said that party members and all citizens should address themselves to the more important duty of removing the All Progressives Congress, APC from power following the party’s misgovernance that had brought the country to its lowest level.

Governor Obaseki in a statement made available to GWG.ng following the Supreme Court decision on the candidates’ list, said:

The ruling of the Supreme Court today, finally put to rest the long-drawn legal tussle over the candidates that will fly the flag of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Edo State in the general election on the 25th of February and 11th of March 2023

As the leader of the party in the State, I implore all members to consider this development as the end of all strife within the Edo PDP and to note that this is a victory for all members. Our resolve now is to win the forthcoming general elections as this experience has made us stronger and better prepared to clinch victory.

This disagreement which has now been amicably resolved attests to the maturity of actors who as law-abiding party members have subjected themselves to and accepted the verdict of the courts.

As there are no victors or vanquished in this issue, I want to call on all members of our party to come together to speak with one voice against the real opponents since our party is big enough to accommodate our variegated interests.

The ongoing crisis in our Nation which has been choreographed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) is subjecting Nigerians to perhaps the most tortuous living conditions in our history since the Civil War between 1967 and 1970. Our efforts must now be directed to removing the APC from power and restoring our blessed Country.

I, therefore, call on all our members in Edo State to stand up and be counted among the brave party men and women who stood to be counted in the execution of this all-important task to rescue Nigeria and pull it back from the precipice.
