The minority leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, has congratulated Governor Godwin Obaseki on his emergence as the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming Edo state governorship election. The election is billed to hold on September 19, 2020.

The minority leader, in a statement on Friday, also commended other governorship aspirants as well as the leaders and members of the PDP for “exhibiting high level of maturity, transparency, understanding, sacrifice and adherence to rules to make Governor Obaseki’s emergence smooth and rancor free”.

The lawmaker also commended the people of Edo state for the unmatched solidary for Governor Obaseki while also congratulating them for the return of PDP governance in the state, which guarantees the placement of their collective interest as a people over and above every individual or group consideration.
“As a democrat and development- oriented leader, Governor Obaseki found himself among strange bed-fellows in the All Progressives Congress (APC) where he was constantly resisting the greed and impunity of power-mongering political godfathers, which came at a huge cost to governance in Edo state.
