Edo State delegates for the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been asked to vote for Prince Uche Secondus and not Chief Raymond Dokpesi as National Chairman of the party.
However, some delegates from Edo North Senatorial district have reportedly kicked against the decision since Dokpesi hails from the state.
But the delegates are yet to arrive at a consensus at the time of filing this report.
It was learnt that the state leadership of the party led by Chief Dan Orbih was toeing the line of the South South region to support Secondus.
At a meeting with the party delegates in Benin City, Dokpesi informed them that he got the blessing of party leaders in the state before contesting for the position of the national chairman of the party.
The aspirant said he didn’t reach out to some members of the party in the state because he assumed that having secured the blessing of leaders of party, he has the blessing and endorsement of all party faithful in the state.
