Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki on Thursday emerged the governorship candidate for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state gubernatorial election.
Obaseki emerged the party’s candidate after his closest rival to the PDP governorship election ticket Ken Imasaugbon stepped down from the race minutes into the primary election.
Recall that Imasuagbon, had yesterday debunked rumours of stepping down for Governor Obaseki.
He had said that contrary to reports, that he did not step down for any other aspirant vowing to challenge the party up to the Supreme Court.
However, the deputy Governor of the State Philip Shuaibu had expressed optimism that Imasuagbon will step down and support Obaseki who he (Shuaibu) believes stands a better chance of winning the election.
