The State Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party was a beehive of activities as leaders of the Ibo Women Community defected to PDP.
The women led by Mrs Blessing Ahoruonye were received by the PDP State Women leader, Mrs Lindsay Sorea.
According to Mrs Blessing Ahoruonye they were joining the PDP to enable them give maximum support to Governor Godwin Obaseki in appreciation of the excellent work he is doing.
She stressed that Governor Obaseki ability to eliminate double and over taxation which reign in the previous APC government have improved the economy of local traders.
She also mentioned the impressive developmental stride being witnessed in the state as well as the economic expansion that has positively influenced the rate of consumption and his prudent management of resources.
She expressed fear that if Governor Obaseki’s Administration is disrupted, “God forbid” they believe that the state will go back to the “hands of thugs, brutal tax collectors and servicing of Ggodfathers at the detriment of development and ease of doing business.”
Mrs Ahoruonye kicked against the return of the state to a party immersed in corruption while citing recent NDDC and EFCC allegations amongst others.
She affirmed that they have vowed to vote for PDP and Governor Obaseki to ensure that the train is not derailed.
According to her, “we the Ibo Community in Edo state have realized our past mistakes and we are fully ready to correct it this time by voting PDP”
