The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, announced that it had approved the delegates list for the Edo State Governorship Election Primary to nominate a candidate for the September 21, 2024 governorship election in the state.

In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, PDP said the NWC had also approved the conduct of the primary for Thursday, February 22, 2024 at the Lawn Tennis Court of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.

He said the NWC charged all delegates, aspirants, leaders, critical stakeholders, members of our party and the public to note the official date and venue and be guided accordingly.

Meanwhile, a PDP chieftain Umoru Brimoh, from Owan West, has appealed to delegates to ensure that they vote for a candidate from Edo south.

In a letter to the delegates and NWC members, he said, “I write this open letter with a deep sense of concern and urgency, as the political landscape in Edo State shifts and evolves.

“It is evident that the choice of our gubernatorial candidate in the forthcoming 2024 elections is crucial to the success of the PDP.

“As a passionate member of our great party and a concerned citizen of Nigeria, I humbly urge all lovers of the PDP to select a candidate from Edo South,” he said.
