The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo state has said it is not oblivious of the uneasy calm that had enveloped the Party and by extension the State in the last few days, describing it as a storm in a teacup.
The party stated this as the State Working Committee has since been consulting with various cadres of leadership including His Excellency, Governor Godwin Obaseki, the leader of the party in the state, the National Vice Chairman South-South of the People’s Democratic Party, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, members of the National Assembly elected from the state as well as leaders and stakeholders of the party from across the eighteen local government areas.
In a statement made available to OLIKA REPORTERS NEWS, the party said, “ We wish to inform our teeming supporters and good people of Edo State that the events that led to this unfortunate and regrettable situation are being addressed and in the true PDP spirit of Edo First, a lot of progress has been made.
“Edo PDP calls on all its members and especially the general public to continue to resist merchants of falsehood and propaganda whose only agenda is to destabilize Edo state, the statement signed by the State`s Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Chris Nehikhare stressed.
“We must restate that His Excellency, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and PDP are desirous of a state that is prosperous, peaceful, united, secure, and healthy.
A partnership built on cooperation and collaboration.
“Governor Godwin Obaseki and PDP will continue to deliver on good governance!”
