The PDP has constituted its own edo state campaign council with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to head the campaign.
The party also appointed Adamawa state Governor , Umar Fintiri, as the deputy campaign chairman.
Mr Wike’s appointment may be a way of pacifying the rivers Governor who recently criticized the NWC over its handling of some issues.
The PDP candidate in the election, Godwin Obaseki, won the primary election unopposed after his opponents stepped down.
His main challenger for the September 17 governorship election is Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Earlier in the week, the All progressive congress (APC) appointed the Kano state governor dr Abdullahi Ganduje as it’s own head of the edo state campaign council.
Mr Obaseki, the incumbent Edo governor, decamped from the APC to the PDP while Mr Ize-Iyamu joined the APC from the PDP.
