Two aspirants – Mr. Ofeimu Odia, a former Private Secretary to the late Premier of defunct Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and Pastor Amos Olelogbe – will today battle for the ticket of the Labour Party (LP) ahead of the September 10 governorship election.
Over 150 delegates of the party are expected to participate in the party’s primaries.
This came at the end of the party’s state congress where Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi was elected chairman.
LP’s National Secretary, Julius Abure, who supervised the congress, said the party was on its way to take over the seat of power in Edo.
He said: “The political development in Edo State landscape has crystalline. We all can see it without needing anybody, in some sense of extra-terrestrial knowledge, to tell us history.”
