PDP conducts ward congress in Edo

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo on Saturday conducted a congress to elect new executives and delegates across the 192 wards of the state.

The chairman of the PDP caretaker committee in the state, Tony Aziegbemi, who monitored the exercise alongside members of the ward congress electoral committee from Abuja, told journalists the turnout reflected the party’s resilience and rising strength.

He said: “The ward congresses were very peaceful. Members of the PDP were very vibrant, very active, and they elected the 17-member executive in the various wards we attended.

“From what we saw, we are so excited and happy and cannot thank PDP members in the state enough for the enthusiasm.”

Aiegbemi admitted that he was initially unsure of what to expect but was moved by the commitment of members who braved the rain.

“I’ll be very honest with you, I was a little bit jittery when I went with the panel to witness some of the wards. I didn’t know what to expect.

“But I was pleasantly surprised with the way the PDP faithful came out in the rain. As early as 7:30 a.m., people were already at the grounds to cast their votes. We think PDP is rising, and we believe we will give the APC a run for their money,” he added.

The PDP chairman expressed confidence that the “abysmal failure of the Federal and state governments would pave the way for the party to reclaim Edo State in 2027.
