Godwin Obaseki
Adibe Emenyonu writes on the quarrel between Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party over harmonisation of party positions in the state is threatening the peace
After victory at the polls in the September 19 2020/governorship election in Edo State, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had all the goodies going for it. However, the success is gradually diminishing as the party which prides itself, as “the golden fish”, having wrestled power from the All Progressives Congress (APC), is in collision cause with the governor, Mr. Governor Godwin Obaseki.
It started like a whisper. But today, what looked like a soft spoken word with little or no vibration of the vocal cords especially to avoid being overheard is now talk of the town.
The crisis rocking the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has worsened following the purported suspension of the state chairman, Anthony Aziegbemi.

PDP spokesman Chris Nehikhare in a statement said the two-thirds majority of members resolved in a motion that the state chairman Aziegbemi should step aside and therefore suspended from his position.
“Hon. Harrison Omagbon, the State Deputy Chairman, will act in his place until the determination of the allegations levied against him,” Nehikhare said.
“An Investigative Committee is hereby set up, headed by the State Legal Adviser Barr. Arthur Esene, and is mandated to report back to the Working Committee within one week. Other members of the Committee are Mrs. Linsdale Tes Sorae (State Woman Leader) and Dr. Wilson Imongan (State Auditor).
