JUST IN: Gov. Obaseki’s sole challenger, Kenneth Imasuagbon backs off from Edo PDP primary

The only challenger of Governor Godwin Obaseki for the governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Kenneth Imasuagbon, has stepped down from the race.

Imasuagbon withdrew from the race as delegates were moving to Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin-City for the indirect primary election.

It was gathered that Governor Obaseki and Imasuagbon, had met in the early hours of Thursday, at the Government House, in Benin-City  behind closed doors.

Efforts to speak with Imasuagbon failed as his mobile line was not connecting.

In view of this development, the Edo State PDP’s governorship primary becomes a mere formality as Governor Obaseki remains unopposed.
