What could be termed as respite has come to the camp of the National Vice Chairman, South-South of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the candidates who emerged from the primary conducted by his faction in the Edo State chapter of the party have been submitted to the Independent Nation Electoral Commission, INEC.
Architect Mike Onolememen, Hon Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama and Hon. Paschal Ugbome top the list of names submitted as the senatorial candidates for Edo central, Edo South, and Edo North respectively.
Speaking to our correspondent at the PDP National Headquarters in Abuja, an administrative staff confirmed that the list has been forwarded to INEC as ordered by the court.
She said, showing our correspondent the receipt of acknowledgment to our correspondent, “Look, we have obeyed the court`s order instructing us to submit the names of those who emerged as our candidates from the Edo Primaries monitored by INEC, and these are the names”.
Some other names listed as sighted by our reporter in Abuja, are Mrs. Lucy Omagbon, Mr. Lewis Osobase, Mr. Felix Akhbue, Mr. Lawrence Ogieva, Mr. Nosa Adams, and all others who are members of the Edo Legacy PDP.
