BENIN—THE crisis rocking Edo State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, took a new dimension, yesterday, as the leadership of the party in Edo South Senatorial district, threw their support behind Gen. Charles Airhiavbere, who is at the election tribunal, challenging the re-election of Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN.
It will be recalled that the leadership of the party in the state, Monday, said the party would not go to court over the out come of the election.
Rising from a meeting, yesterday, Edo South Senatorial leaders and party chairmen said they were in full support and behind Gen. Airhiavbere’s decision to challenge the outcome at the tribunal.
They said: “Being very conscious that a child deprived of his constitutional rights has a right to seek justice, we are fully in support and behind our candidate’s resolve to challenge the election results and the eligibility and authenticity of the qualification of his main opponent at the tribunal.”
In a statement, one of the Edo South leaders, Owere Imansogie, thanked the people of the state and party leaders, like Chief Tony Anenih, Chief Dan Orbih, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe, Esama of Benin and Dr. Sam Ogbemudia, but condemned the decision of the party not to contest the election results at the tribunal.
