'PDP Set to Take over  Edo State Govt in November'


Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been assured of the readiness of the party to take over power in Edo State in November this year.

Chairman of the Panel which conducted the congress in Benin City, the state capital, Chief Sergeant Awuse, gave the assurance yesterday during the congress that ushered in new State Executive Committee (SEC).

During the congress, the former state Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, was re-elected unopposed while Chief Felix Imoisili and Dr. Mandy Israel Aguele were elected as Secretary and Treasurer respectively in the 31-man state executive.

Continuing, Awuse said the state PDP has been patient for eight years under APC, adding however that to achieve this, the party needed to put up its ante.
According to Awuse, "The PDP need the state to complete the circle in the South-south because the region is the foundation of PDP and there is need to reclaim the state.
The All Progressives Congress (APC), he stressed, was not ready to govern but to witch hunt those they want to cage, noting that Nigerians can attest to the programmes of the PDP when it was in power.

"I am sure that if election is conducted today, the PDP will speak differently because Nigerians now know the difference between when PDP was in power and now that APC is ruling," Awuse pointed out.
In his acceptance speech, the newly elected chairman, on behalf of his executive, thanked delegates for making the right decision to elect them and promised not to let them down.

He said the election came at a critical moment in the history of the state because to win and form a government are tasks that must be done.

According to him, the task has been made easy by the continued failure of Governor Adams Oshiomhole-led APC government.
