Odubu and Obaseki

Obaseki defeated Odubu and nine other aspirants in the APC primaries which held last Saturday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City.

The APC governorship candidate was accompanied on the visit by the Director General of his campaign and Commissioner for Works in the state, Osarodion Ogie and other leaders of the party.

Vanguard learned that the meeting was very cordial, and the Deputy Governor, who was very receptive assured his guests, that he will continue to work for the APC.

Vanguard learned that the earlier tension which existed in the two camps is now over as they all resolved to strategize on how to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 10, governorship election in the state.

Obaseki also had called one of the aspirants, Dr Chris Ogienwonyi yesterday and solicited for his support.
