Governor Godwin Obaseki is the only aspirant that will participate in in Peoples Democratic Party PDP gubernatorial primary election as his Major rival Kenneth Imasuagbon has announced his withdrawal from the race.
Though, Imasuagbon has stepped down from the contest where 2,229 delegates will choose the PDP gubernatorial flagbearer, voting will still go on for affirmation of Obaseki’s candidacy
In a statement he issued on Wednesday, Imasuagbon stressed that he was still in the race to win and not to make up the number of aspirants for the PDP ticket,
The statement reads: “The governor knows that I’m popular with the delegates, and he is doing everything possible to change this.
“For the sake of emphasis, I have not and will not consider accepting anything to step down from the race for the PDP ticket.
“I also understand that they are trying to manipulate the delegates’ list in their favour. I want to warn that if they try it, we will do everything possible to resist it, we shall also meet in court.”
All is set for voting to begin at the Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City.
