A Frontline PDP governorship aspirant in Edo State, Engr Gideon Ikhine, has collapsed his campaign structures into that of goovernor Godwin OBASEKI as well as handing over his Hope 2020 campaign headquarters worth 500 million naira located along Aiguobadimwin Street, Off Ikpokpan Road, GRA., Benin City to the executive governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki campaign team and the PDP.
Speaking at a press conference in Benin, Monday, Engr Gideon Ikhine described the coming of Governor Godwin Obaseki to the PDP as an answer to his prayers.
“My campaign team went round the 192 wards in the 18 local governments in the state with one prayer point. We prayed God to open the doors of the Edo Government House and the House of Assembly to the PDP. And without casting a single ballot, God answered our prayers by bringing Governor Godwin Obaseki to the PDP."
Engr Ikhine called on all the delegates who believe in his vision to vote for Governor Godwin Obaseki during the party primary slated for Thursday this week.
Responding, Governor Godwin Obaseki described Engr Gideon Ikhine as a rare politician. The governor said " Honestly, I want to assure you that you are not stepping aside but stepping beside. I will need your well organized campaign structure to merge with mine for us to succeed and actualised our dreams for the good edolites."
"I remember when we first met on our way from Germany. We spoke at length on how to restore Edo. What a coindence that my campaign office is opposite yours. I think this is a Devine intervention by God Almighty."
Meanwhile, reports just reaching SPARKNEWSNAIJA news desk say a federal High court, sitting in Port-Harcourt and presided over by Justice E.A. Obile, consequent upon hearing the motion ex-parte dated and filed on June 22, 2020, ordered that the status quo be maintained until the matter (motion on notice) is heard."
