BREAKING: OBASEKI ARRIVES PDP NATIONAL SECRETARIAT IN ABUJA FOR SCREENING

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has arrived at the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party for screening ahead of the forthcoming governorship primary election.

Obaseki's defection to the PDP on Friday prompted the party to extend its screening of aspirants.

The party also granted the governor and his deputy, Philip Shuaibu, waivers to contest election on the platform of the party.

Earlier, three aspirants, Gideon Ikhine, Ogbeide Ihama, and Kenneth Imansuangbon, had been screened by the screening committee.
