PDP Faces Another Blow As Legacy PDP Members Defect In DrovesCould this be the beginning of the end for the PDP in Edo State? With each passing day, the party seems to be facing an uphill battle as a wave of defections continues to plague its ranks. The latest setback comes as Legacy PDP members strike from within, further weakening the party’s position ahead of the crucial September elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Just when the dust seemed to settle after the resignation of Esan political heavyweight and revered PDP leader, Hon. Felix Akhabue, alias JOEFEL, the party was dealt another blow with the departure of two more key figures within a span of less than 24 hours.

First to make headlines was Mr. Martins Ajayi, the Number-1 Leader of Ward-3 in Esan West Local Government Area. A staunch ally of Hon. Felix Akhabue, Ajayi’s resignation sent shockwaves through the party ranks. Submitting his resignation through the Ward-3 Acting Chairman on May 7th, 2024, Ajayi cited personal reasons for his decision, leaving many to ponder the implications for the party’s prospects in the upcoming elections.

Adding to the PDP’s woes was the departure of Hon. Peter Oboh, a Major Leader and Grassroot Mobilizer from Ward-8, Ewu, in Esan Central LGA. Oboh’s resignation, also driven by personal reasons and a desire to foster grassroots development, underscored the growing discontent within the party’s grassroots base.

Amidst the flurry of defections, speculation runs rife about the future of the PDP in Edo State. Can the party weather this storm and emerge stronger, or are these defections indicative of deeper fissures within its ranks? Only time will tell as the September elections draw closer.

In the meantime, as the PDP grapples with internal strife, political pundits and observers are left to wonder: Will the party be able to regain its footing and mount a formidable challenge in the electoral arena, or is this the beginning of the end for the once-dominant political force in Edo State?

As the saga unfolds, one thing remains certain: the political landscape in Edo State is anything but predictable, and the twists and turns of this ongoing drama are sure to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.

Paris Saint-Germain have retained the UEFA Champions League title after a thrilling 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Arsenal. The final, held at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary, on May 30, 2026, ended 1-1 after extra time.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The match began with an immediate impact from Arsenal, as Kai Havertz capitalized on a pass from Leandro Trossard to put the London club ahead within the first six minutes. Arsenal maintained their lead for much of the first half, successfully frustrating the French champions.

The momentum shifted in the 63rd minute when a VAR review resulted in a penalty for PSG. Ousmane Dembélé stepped up to the spot and converted two minutes later, bringing the score level at 1-1. Despite intense efforts from both sides during the remainder of regulation and throughout extra time, neither team could find a winning goal.

The title was ultimately decided by penalties. In the shootout, PSG held their nerve, with Lucas Beraldo converting their final spot-kick. With Arsenal needing to score to force sudden death, defender Gabriel Magalhães sent his effort over the bar, sealing a 4-3 victory for the French side.

This triumph marks a historic achievement for PSG, who become the first French club to win the UEFA Champions League title in two consecutive seasons, having defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the 2025 final. The victory also places head coach Luis Enrique among an elite group of managers to have secured at least three European Cup titles.
