PDP in Edo State Faces Fresh Crisis as Ighodalo Disagrees With Obaseki
PDP in Edo State Faces Fresh Crisis Ahead of Election as Asue Ighodalo Allegedly Disagrees With Obaseki’s Sharing Formula
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State is experiencing turbulent times as it grapples with internal issues that could jeopardize its unity and focus ahead of the upcoming election. Recent developments suggest a potential rift within the party, particularly regarding Governor Obaseki’s proposed sharing formula and governance plan.
Reports indicate that Asue Ighodalo, a key figure in the party, has expressed disagreement with some aspects of Obaseki’s requests regarding campaign organization and governance strategies if the PDP wins the election. There are also concerns about the composition of local government chairmen across the state, with Obaseki reportedly seeking to influence their successors after their terms expire.

One of the contentious issues is the continuation of Obaseki’s policies and the role of traditional institutions in governance. Sources suggest that Ighodalo may be resistant to certain elements of Obaseki’s proposals, citing concerns about perceived elements of Godfatherism.
Despite these reported disagreements, there are indications that Ighodalo may maintain a low profile to present a united front for the party. However, the alleged discord between Obaseki and Ighodalo has raised concerns among Edo residents about the impact on the state’s development if the PDP emerges victorious in the election.
