Dr. Tony Azeigbemi, Chairman, Edo State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday said there is no plan by the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, to dissolve the party executive in the state as being speculated.
There had been speculations that the governor has influenced the party’s leadership to dissolve the executive so as to replace them with those loyal to him.
Dr. Azeigbemi while clarifying the claims at a press briefing in Benin City, noted that “It is all hearsay; at this level we don’t deal on rumour, we deal on facts and figures”.
According to him, the party’s priority is to give governor Obaseki the maximum support free from distraction.
“We have been hearing that rumor. And I can tell you authoritatively that the governor is not desirous of dissolving any of the existing party structures in the State.
“We are focused on allowing the governor to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of the state”, he said.
On the security challenges in the state, he said the governor has met with all relevant stakeholders and plans are in place to reduce security threats in the state.
He seized the opportunity to thank Edo people for coming out in large number to vote Gov. Godwin Obaseki on September 19, assuring them that they will not regret their action as the governor is poised to satisfy them.
