by · Naija News

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Edo State Chapter, has said the state under Governor Monday Okpebholo is performing below expectation.

Naija News reports that the party decried the gradual exit of law under the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the state.

In a statement by the party’s Secretary, Henry Duke Tenebe, after the party stakeholders’ meeting on Friday, PDP resolved to continue its legal process until its candidate in the last governorship election, Asue Ighodalo, regains his mandate.

The Party expressed grave concern over the current state of Edo under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration. The party observed with dismay that the State has suffered significant setback in the last few months.

“The PDP reaffirmed its unshakable commitment to the rule of law and upholding constitutional democracy in the State. The party strongly believes that law, order and security are essential for the peace, progress and development of Edo State and Nigeria as a whole,” it read.

PDP commended the Caretaker Chairman of PDP in Edo, Tony Aziegbemi, and Ighodalo for their outstanding leadership and exemplary efforts in piloting the affairs of the party in the state, which have fostered unity and progress in the Edo State chapter of the PDP.

They called for the “continuous support and prayers of all party faithful and the people of Edo State as PDP and its candidate progress on this arduous journey“.
