THE Independent National Electoral Commission has cleared 17 political parties to participate in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State with only one of them, the Peoples Redemption Party , fielding a female candidate for the contest.
They are the All Progressives Grand Alliance which has the cerebral former Chief of Staff to former governor, Professor Oserheimen Osunbor, Dr Isaiah Osifo, and the New Nigerian Peoples Party which has fiery preacher, Azemeh Azena, of the Omega Fire Ministries as its candidate. This increased political awareness and massive mobilization by one of the political parties contributed to the high number of people who participated in the Continuous Voters Registration organized by the Independent National Electoral Commission .
They claimed that the party wanted to zone the ticket of the party to Edo Central until Akpata allegedly hijacked the process. Despite these seeming challenges, Akpata and the party had a very successful launch of their campaign, penultimate Saturday, though without the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, who is alleged to be funding a faction of the party.
At the inauguration, Oshiomhole said the party was poised to retake the state from the PDP and put the state to what he termed abandoned path of development. He also urged party members to resolve their differences and work hard for the victory of the party and de-emphasize the role of money. More resignations are expected in the next weeks leading to the election according to some leaders of the party.
During the last Continuous Voter’s Register , the PDP embarked on a conscious move to mobilise people to go and participate across the state. The PDP is also heavily relying on the Edo people in the Diaspora who have reasonable influence on dependents at home.
