“We appreciate the concerns that you all have expressed in asking for a level playing field; we are going to be strong advocates of that.

We will ensure that at the end of the day we have a process that is transparent, a process that is fair because I am a beneficiary of that process,” Mutfwang stated.

He urged all aspirants to prioritize the party’s success and support the eventual candidate, provided the process remains free, fair, and transparent.

“Onaiwu emphasized, “Winning Edo is a priority for the party, and we cannot allow it to slip into the hands of the opposition.

I have told everyone to drop their ego and support whoever emerges as the PDP candidate for Edo state as long as the process is free, fair, and transparent.”
