Edo State PDP Launches Mandate Recovery Group


During the inauguration and swearing-in of Godwin Obaseki as Edo State Governor was ongoing at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were also inaugurating what they described as a mandate recovery group.

Leader of the group, Dan Ogbegie, said the move was to press home their determination to recover their allegedly stolen mandate through every legitimate means.

Prior to this meeting, the PDP candidate in the Edo State governorship election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, and leaders of the party have submitted a petition to the Edo State Election Petition Tribunal.

They are challenging the result of the polls in which the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Godwin Obaseki was declared winner by the electoral commission.

Pastor Ize-Iyamu said they decided to challenge the result of the election in keeping with the promise they made to their supporters that they would defend the votes cast for them.

On the day of the election, the PDP claimed there was a plan by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and incumbent Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, to rig the election at the collation centre.
