By Chris Udochukwu
Abuja (Precise Post) – The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has granted waiver to Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki to contest the Edo governorship election primary.
This is also as the NWC has further moved the Edo state governorship primary from an earlier slated date of Tuesday, June 23 to a new date of Thursday June 25, 2020.
The party stated this on Friday in a statement released through its official twitter handle @OfficialPDPNig.
According the statement, “The NWC in exercise of the above powers has ratified the application for waiver by the ward, local government & state executives of the party in Edo state and accordingly grants waiver to H. E. Governor Godwin Obaseki to enable him contest the gubernatorial primary of the PDP.
Precise Post recalls that Godwin Obaseki on Friday defected to the PDP following his disqualification by the ruling All Progressives Congress.
