The Labour Party’s influential Obidient Movement in Edo State has officially collapsed its structure into the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
This move was marked by the endorsement of Dr. Asue Ighodalo, the PDP’s governorship candidate, by the movement’s prominent Edo Central Senatorial figure and his numerous followers.
The Labour Party’s senatorial leader, a notable political juggernaut in Edo Central, praised Dr. Ighodalo’s vision and leadership qualities. “After careful consideration and consultations with our members and supporters, we have decided to support Dr. Asue Ighodalo for the governorship of Edo State. His track record and commitment to the development of our state align with the values and aspirations of the Obidient Movement,” he stated.
This endorsement signifies a major boost for the PDP’s campaign, as the Obidient Movement has a substantial following in Edo State, known for its grassroots mobilization and influence. Dr. Ighodalo expressed his gratitude for the endorsement, emphasizing that it marks a new chapter of unity and progress for Edo State. “I am honored by the support from the Obidient Movement. Together, we will work towards a better future for all Edo people,” he said.
