Fresh Crisis Rocks Edo PDP As Wike’s Camp Elects Parallel Chairman

Published

on

According to Nivo News, a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has elected Nosa Ogieva as its new state chairman. The factional leadership emerged from a congress held in Benin City, where 576 delegates representing the state’s 192 wards participated.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

This development follows closely after another faction of the PDP in Edo State re-elected Tony Aziegbemi as chairman in a separate congress held the previous week, deepening the division within the party.

Addressing delegates at the Wike-backed congress, the PDP South-South Vice Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, blamed former Governor Godwin Obaseki for the party’s weakened position in Edo. He argued that the PDP’s declining performance in recent by-elections reflected its loss of popularity under Obaseki’s leadership.

Orbih urged members to elect leaders with the capacity to rebuild the party, dismissing critics who had advised against attending the congress. He accused Obaseki of sowing deep divisions within the party, alleging that his defection to the PDP destabilized its unity and drove members away.

“The truth is that PDP’s crisis has reached alarming levels nationwide and in Edo State,” Orbih declared. “We had a united party until Obaseki joined. He destroyed the spirit of togetherness, created discord, and left the PDP in a weakened state.”

The newly elected factional chairman, Nosa Ogieva, pledged to restore unity and reposition the party to reclaim electoral victories in Edo State.

During a quarterly meeting with the Residents Association of Festac Town, Prince Sanusi confirmed that he has gained the support of the Lagos State government to undertake a comprehensive reconstruction of Second and Seventh Avenue roads. Meanwhile, the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) will handle the rehabilitation of First and Fourth Avenue roads to ensure durable results.

The chairman further stated that ongoing temporary repairs on inner roads would soon be replaced with full-scale rehabilitation. Residents were encouraged to submit four project proposals from each of the five communities for budget consideration and implementation.

Prince Sanusi, who has received recognition from residents, particularly transporters, for revitalizing the town, urged patience as tangible improvements continue to unfold. Streets are now being swept daily, refuse cleared, and additional environmental sanitation staff have been employed alongside the rehabilitation of the council’s refuse collection vehicle.

He also called on youths to take advantage of the current employment opportunities as a stepping stone toward broader prospects, emphasizing that his mission is to restore the dignity of Amuwo Odofin.
