Aziegbemi Returns as Chair of Edo PDP

Tony Aziegbemi on Saturday secured his second term as Chair of the Democratic Party (PDP) of the people in the state of Edo.

He was re -elected at the Congress which was attended by 917 delegates from 18 regions of the local government.

The congress, which produced the State Executive Committee, was supervised by a panel from the PDP National Headquarters in Abuja, led by Tariga Tulagha, who was the Chairperson of the Election Committee.

Many candidates, including Aziegbemi, run without an opponent, but Tulagha insisted the process must strictly follow the party guidelines.

After hours of accreditation and voting, the new executive committee was officially declared.

In his acceptance speech, Aziegbemi described the exercise as “smooth and historic,” said the results reflect the confidence of the delegation in party leadership.

He said: “You have just witnessed the rebirth of the PDP in the state of Edo. More than 900 delegates gave a peaceful, orderly, and in many maturity.

“Edo people crave a good government, and we will not disappoint them,” said the chairman.
