Edo PDP Silent After Spokesman Backs Governor Okpebholo
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has not issued any official response for 11 days after the resignation of its former spokesman, Daniel Osa Ogbegi, who publicly endorsed Governor Mondai Okpebholo. Ogbegi resigned on March 12, 2026, citing a lack of visible aspirants on the PDP platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His resignation has raised concerns about uncertainty within the party as it prepares for the upcoming elections. Ogbegi criticized the opposition's struggle to organize and provide a credible alternative, emphasizing the need for political cohesion.
He described Governor Okpebholo as a friend and brother, asserting that the governor's success is tied to the progress of Edo State, transcending partisan interests. Ogbegi's decision to support Okpebholo reflects a desire to see the state rise above political divisions and move towards stability and development.
