Governor Obaseki said, “I want to assure you we will give all the support we can to ensure PDP retains Edo State. Ultimately, it is only one person that will emerge. If we believe it is God that gives power, then it is not today neither is it on the election day that God is going to determine who will govern. He has already determined it.
“But we, as humans, don’t yet know, that is why these processes are ongoing. We appreciate the concerns that you have expressed, putting in place a level playing field, we are going to be strong advocates of that. And ensure at the end of the day, we have a process that is transparent, a process that is fair. I am a beneficiary of that process. That when all is said and done, we will still work together as one big family,” the governor said.
Onaiwu, while addressing newsmen, after the screening, said it is important for the PDP to have a reward system for loyal party members, so as to brighten the chances of the opposition party at the poll.
“Winning Edo is a priority to the party, wining Edo is a must win for PDP, we cannot allow Edo to slip to the hands of the APC. I have told everyone to drop their ego and support whoever emerges as the PDP candidate as long as the process is free, fair and transparent.
Meanwhile, the screening panel is expected to submit its report to the PDP national working committee which will in turn make it public.
