Governor Obaseki appoints 18 local government Chairmen as Special Advisers
All 18 local government Chairmen who defected to the PDP are to serve as Special Advisers to the Governor of Edo State.
Governor Obaseki announced in Benin today that the appointment is with immediate effect.
The appointment has been described as a step in the right direction by the government to consolidate his grip on his political front.
Meanwhile, the PDP has given the governor a waiver to contest the forth coming elections in Edo State.
With the governor’s nomination by the corner, Edo appears set for capture from the APC as court has ruled that former APC gubernatorial hopeful Ize Iyamu is not a member of the APC.
What this means is that he might seek a mandate through another party that is if he is set free by another court of law which is looking at a 700million,naira case tied to his neck.
