Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, his counterparts in Sokoto and Rivers States, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and Nyesom Wike led guests on a courtesy visit to the Palace of Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolopolo, Oba Ewuare II, ahead of the flag-off of Governor Godwin Obaseki’s campaign for re-election in the September 19, 2020 Governorship poll in Edo State.
Other governors already in the state for the flag-off are Duoye Diri, Seyi Makinde and Sen. Bala Muhammed of Bayelsa, Oyo and Bauchi States respectively.
Other guests at the event include Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi; National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus; Chairman of DAAR Communications, Raymond Dokpesi; Chief Tom Ikimi; Sen. Clifford Ordia and Barr. Ken Imasuagbon, among others.
The event is taking place at the Lawn Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, with strict compliance with coronavirus (COVID-19) directives issued by the Federal Government and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for public gatherings.

Obaseki and PDP has less than 10% chance of participating in the election. PDP is not interested in the election because they know that they can never win the election. They are also not interested in Obaseki knowing that the court will disqualify him. They are after Edo money for 2023 and they have gotten enough of it. There is no way a serious PDP will sell their ticket to both Obaseki and Philip. As tax collectors they have collected enough from the confused and desperate Obaseki.
OBA ga to kpeye
I pray God to see Obaseke through.
