2024: Edo North PDP Leaders Want Aziegbmi Out, Ask Orbih To Show The Way

The Edo North PDP  Progressive Leaders Forum has called for the resignation of state party chairman, Dr Tony Azegbemi over his recent assertion on zoning of the governorship as it called on party members to rally round the leadership of Chief Dan Orbih in the quest to find the next governor of the state.

The forum in a statement made available to GWG.ng particularly flayed what it claimed as the divisive role of Governor Godwin Obaseki in the quest to produce his successor.

The forum in their assertions said:

1. The political situation in Edo sate fuelled and driven by the Governor can not be allowed to produce the party’s candidate in the next election.

2. The forum totally condemns the divisive and reckless statements of the party Chairman which is tantamount to introducing  tribal politics  into Edo state and thus bringing the PDP into disrepute.

3. The forum further notes that the State Chairman of the party should, as a matter of honour, resign with immediate effect.

4. The forum agreed unanimously that the candidate of the party must emerge from a democratic process guided by the party’s guidelines.

5. The forum believes in the fundamental democratic right of any aspirant from any part of the state to contest the Governorship elections.

6. Furthermore, this fundamental right is a constitutional right enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended)

7. The forum states very vigorously that the process must be open to all party members whose contributions and presence in party affairs and matters are well documented over several years.

8. The forum notes with appreciation the staunch and  indefatigable position on fundamental issues of integrity and justice for the PDP canvassed by Chief  Dan Orbih.

9. The forum passed a vote of confidence on the Leader of the party and South -South Chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih.

10. The forum further urges all loyal PDP members across Edo North and, indeed, the state to rally round its leader, Chief Dan Orbih, as we approach 2024.

The statement was endorsed by some Edo North PDP leaders among whom were Hajiya Hadizat Umoru, Hon Oladele Bankole-Balogun, Prince Ugbodagha, Hon Jega, Alh. Chief Sule Duru Yesufu and Richard Ehimegbai

Others who endorsed the statement were Barr. Tony Innih, Eng. Fred Attah, Subedetu Egbeadokhai, Mrs Aroyame, Moses Ikiroda and Mike Abekhe
