Embattled Governor of Edo State, Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki and aspirant for the race to return to the state government house has been carefully exploring options to secure a legitimate ticket to run for the office of the Edo State governor for the second term in office.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) doors were on Saturday slammed against the Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki for what the party considered to be his ineligibility for the same office he has served on the platform of the party since 2016.
The latest political bride amongst which the Edo State governor is exploring as he seeks re-election is the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Tribune Online can report that the governor is weighing the options placed before him by the various party on which he seeks nomination as its flag bearer before making his final decision.
As time runs out of the governor, in view of the closing date of 27th of June for the nomination, resolution of dispute and conduct of primaries by political parties to produce a governorship candidate for the office of governorship for the election in Edo State in accordance with the section 87 of the Electoral Act 2010, Obaseki has opened many flanks to enable him to make an informed decision to his advantage.

The National Secretary of Social Democratic Party, Alhaji Shehu Gabam told Tribune Online that “we are in deep discussion with the Edo State governor for him to fly the flag of the party in the forthcoming elections.”
He said, APC treated the candidate rather unjustly and so it opened its doors for the aspirant to seek the mandate of the Edo people on its platform.
