The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)in Edo State on Saturday conducted its Local Government Congress across the 18 Local Government Areas.
The election was monitored by a panel from the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, led by Mr Hillary Okute and State Caretaker Committee.
Speaking at the Oredo Local Government Secretariat, the State Caretaker Chairman of the party, Tony Aziegbemi, described the exercise as a “rebirth” of the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“What you are seeing here is the beginning of the rebirth of PDP in Nigeria. Last week, we held ward congresses in all 192 wards of the state, adjudged the best organised ever.
“Today’s local government congress has further shown the excitement, joy, and enthusiasm of our members.
“This momentum will ultimately drive us to remove the APC both at the federal and state levels in 2027 and 2028 respectively,” Aziegbemi said.
The PDP chairman accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of plunging Nigerians into hardship, noting that “over 60 million Nigerians go to bed hungry every night because of the APC’s clueless government.
“What we are doing here in Edo is the march to rescue Nigeria,” he added.
In his remark, the Chairman of the LGA Congress Panel, Hillary Okute, described the exercise as a new dawn for the PDP.
He praised the process, noting that what he witnessed was a product of “careful planning, hard work, and dedication.
“We are truly amazed at the decorum and spirit of brotherhood here today. We believe this will translate to higher levels, not just for Edo but for Nigeria,” he added.
A total of 18-member executive and a national delegate were elected at each Local Government Area.
