Ahead of the September 2nd, 2023 Local Government Council Election in Edo state, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has inaugurated a 70 man Campaign Council headed by Senator Odion Ugbesia.
While performing the inauguration of the Campaign Council at the new party secretariat on Airport Road, Benin City, the State chairman Dr. Tony Aziegbemi said that "The purpose of the Campaign Council is to deliver all our eighteen Local Government Chairmanship candidates and all the 192 Councillorship candidates.
According to Aziegbemi, the party expects the Campaign Council headed by Senator Odion Ugbesia, to take the message of the party across the nooks and crannies of Edo State in a bid to ensure victory for the party in the election.
Dr. Aziegbemi declared the readiness of the party to attain success in the election, stressing that “We are the only party that has a very vigorous and robust congress session to elect our candidates for this election. We are not like other parties who are alleging that our party is going to write result. Governor Godwin Obaseki met with all the party aspirants and also met with all the candidates after the party primaries.”
He pointed out that the party is fully ready for the election and they are going to go to all the nooks and crannies of the 4,519 polling units of the state to take the message of good governance, tell the people the infrastructural development that have been provided by the Governor Godwin Obaseki led PDP administration in the state.
“So, Edo people just wait for us, we are coming to meet with you and tell you what the governor has done, if not in your community, but around your community and what the plans are, going forward for Edo people. So, we have a good story to tell,” he added.
While speaking on behalf of the Campaign Council, the Chairman, Senator Odion Ugbesia said " I accept the offer to serve as well as willing to take the campaigns across the entire 4,519 polling units in the state.
According Senator Ugbesia, “In the spirit of reconciliation, there is need for every to come together towards rebuilding the party, because no sacrifice is too much. If my acceptance as the Chairman of the Campaign Council is one way of rebuilding the process, contributing to the peace process, so be it.”
On the allegation that PDP has already perfected plans to write figures for the Local Government Election, the Chairman of the Campaign Council, said, “If we plan to write figures, why are we campaigning? If we already know that we are going to write figures, while bother to set up Campaign Council, why bother to move around to campaign?”
Also speaking, Speaker, Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku described the party as a party that is closest to the grassroots and assured that they are ready to go round to tell the people what the governor has done, adding that the party does not believe in rigging.
He commended the chairman of PDP for his steadfastness and holding firm to what he believes in.

Marcus Onobun and all former members of the National Assembly, Timothy Osadolor, Tony Ikuenobe, Arthur Esene, Fidel Igenegbae, Samuel Saiki, Anthony Okosun, Herbeta Okonofua and Uwa Osunbor.
