The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State yesterday suffered a major setback with the defection of a member of the party's National Executive Committee, Barrister Henry Idahagbon, and hundreds of his followers.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Idahagbon, a former Commissioner for Lands/ Survey and former Egor Local Government chairman eulogised Governor Adams Oshiomhole for his determined effort to transform Edo State in all facets of life.
Hon. Idahagbon noted that besides Oshiomhole's performance, which he says is the biggest attempt to transform Edo in the last 20 years, the governor's 'one man one vote' campaign has become a mantra, castigating the PDP for not adhering to the principle of 'one man one vote'.
Though some say he left PDP as a result of the way he was treated during the last primaries that saw him loosing to Daisy Danjuma and that it was only a matter of time before he dumped PDP.
PDP is gradually dying in Edo State.
