A former member of the House of Representatives, Omosede Igbinedion, has picked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination form for the September governorship election in Edo State.
Omosede, popularly known as ‘Lady Governor’, is the first governorship aspirant to purchase and collect the forms to contest in the elections. She expressed her confidence at winning the primary.
According to Omosede, party elders and other stakeholders approached her to join the race because they believe in her ability.

She said: “We came to purchase this form to show that we are serious about the contest. Our plan to win the party primary is on course. We are not perturbed about endorsement of any aspirant. Members of Edo PDP know me and I know them.
“I do not believe the governor has endorsed any aspirant. If there is anybody to be endorsed, I believe it will be me because of my antecedent and records of performance in last year’s general election. I gave the PDP the best result in Edo South. I am focused on what I want to do for Edo people. I represent the women and the youths, Edo will make history if I am elected governor. I have the largest support base, which is the women and the youths.
“We have been with the people and they know us. We are in this race to win. Edo needs a governor that will speed up development for jobs and wealth creation. Our purpose in governance is to lift people. We will build infrastructure, we will build secondary schools and create enabling environment for businesses to thrive.”
