A former Director-General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Earl Osaro Onaiwu has received his clearance certificate to participate in the 2024 Edo guber polls.
Speaking before the screening committee headed by Plateau governor, Caleb Muftwang, Onaiwu said that the PDP must strive hard to win the Edo governorship election.
He said “Winning Edo is a priority to the party, wining Edo is a must-win for PDP; we cannot allow Edo to slip into the hands of the opposition.
“I have told everyone to drop their ego and support whoever emerges as the PDP candidate for Edo state as long as the process is free, fair and transparent.

“For instance, I founded the PDP Governor’s forum, so what is my reward and how will you compensate me for holding down the party?
“Will I just sit down and allow people who don’t know the meaning of PDP to come and rule? People who do not know what the PDP stands for?
“We must build our party; we have been in opposition since 2015 because we always import people into our party.
“People who are using PDP as a vehicle to get to their destination, as soon as they get there, they forget the vehicle.
“So, we are preaching let them start to build the party through faithful party members.
“Nobody should control the party, but we need faithful party members to go to the Senate, become governors and even the president.”
