About 500 women from the
Social Democratic Party and
the All Progressive Congress in
Udaba community, Etsako
Central Local Government Area
of Edo State have defected to
the Peoples Democratic Party.
The women said they were
joining the party that would
take Edo to a higher
level.State Chairman of the
PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, who
receive the defectors said a
PDP government in Edo would
prioritize women
empowerment and welfare.
Chief Orbih encouraged them
to become apostles of change
in the state by mobilizing
support for the PDP.Orbih said
the PDP would neutralize
Governor Oshiomhole’s plan to
replace himself with another
stranger as the governor.
He said Oshiomhole was a
stranger in the state who
would be leaving hardship
and huge debt burden on the
state.Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu
said the Afemai people would
not lose anything after
Oshiomhole hands over in
November.
A former commissioner for
Lands and Survey under
Oshiomhole, Donald Boi
Osikena, disclosed that he
resigned because his
responsibilities as
commissioner were usurped by
the governor.
Osikena, who defected to the
PDP last year, said, “My
ministry was being run from
the government house.
Approvals for lands and
certificate of occupancy were
being issued from government
house without informing me. I
reasoned that I didn’t want to
go to jail early in life, so I
left.”
