Edo APC Primaries: Presidency Refrains from Endorsing Candidates, Opting for Fair Play
Amidst the anticipation surrounding the Edo APC Primaries, the Presidency has made it clear that it will not endorse any specific candidate for the gubernatorial ticket in tomorrow’s election. Contrary to speculation, a source close to the Presidency disclosed that rather than favoring a particular senatorial district, the focus is on ensuring a level playing field for all candidates, given the caliber of individuals vying for the position.
Efforts by certain Edo leaders to garner support from President Tinubu for their respective candidates proved unsuccessful, highlighting the neutrality maintained by the Presidency in the run-up to the primaries.
Scheduled for Saturday, February 17th, the APC Edo Primaries promise to be a pivotal moment in the state’s political landscape, with contenders vying for the party’s ticket in a fiercely contested race.

PDP Chieftain Calls for Removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as DG of PDP Governors’ Forum
Benue State, Nigeria – Mr. Sam Obeya, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Benue State, has called for the immediate removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as the Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
This call comes on the heels of the aborted Congress in Benue State, which was marred by litigation and controversy. Mr. Obeya alleges that Dr. Agbo played a significant role in the botched Congress and demands his removal to ensure the party’s unity and progress.
“The actions of Dr. Agbo have caused irreparable damage to our party in Benue State,” Mr. Obeya stated. “His removal is necessary to prevent further divisions and ensure that our party remains strong and united.”
Mr. Obeya expressed concern that Dr. Agbo may become a tool to serve the personal interests of Governor Bala Mohammed, just like his predecessor, Hon. Cid Madugbuna, who was seen as a stooge of former Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State.
“The PDP cannot afford to have a Director General who serves only the interests of one governor,” Obeya said. “We need leadership that prioritizes the unity and progress of the party above personal interests.”
Obeya called on party leaders to take action to ensure that the PDP Governors’ Forum remains independent and serves the interests of the party as a whole, rather than being used to promote personal agendas.
