The People’s Democratic Party primaries in Edo State which were originally scheduled for Friday, June 19, and Saturday, June 20, 2020, have now been moved to Tuesday, June 23.
The postponement was announced by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, made this known in a statement on Thursday after series of meeting between Governor Obaseki and other top PDP officials.
Although the party was silent on Obaseki, it was gathered that the decision to postpone the primaries was taken to enable the leadership of the party to make the necessary adjustments to accommodate Obaseki in the exercise.
According to sources, Obaseki is expected to announce his defection to the PDP on Friday.
