PDP will not be on the Edo2020 Ballot- Erhahon

Former Chairman, Edo state Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, and later Publicity Secretary of the APC,Mr Godwin Erhahon has said that the PDP sold an expired gubernatorial ticket to Mr Godwin Obaseki for the money.

He said all the aspirants who cashed out of the primaries knew the game plan hence they stepped down.

"All other aspirants stepped down for him as they realized that the PDP have lost its chance of fielding a candidate for the September 19 2020 governorship election"   

He said this is because, "Whereas the Electoral Act requires any political party that wishes to reschedule its primary to  give INEC seven days notice, PDP gave only five days and thereby ran foul of the guidelines". 

"Outgoing Governor Obaseki will end up wasting billions of naira on an expired nomination ticket from PDP probably as God's punishment for his ingratitude  to APC which gave him the ticket freely in 2016 even when he was just a new entrant into the party".

Erhahon argued that, "... the outgoing governor obtained his nomination form three weeks behind approved time. Shocker awaits outgoing Governor Godwin Obaseki as he is about to  realize that the governorship election candidature which he spent over ten billion naira to buy from PDP, is useless to him after all".
