Next Edo Gov’ll Be Elected On Individual Credibility, Not Party Affiliation – Ex-Senate Whip

A former Chief Whip of the Senate in the 4th National Assembly and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State, Senator Rowland Owie, has said that the people of the state will, in the 2016 governorship election, vote based on the pedigree of the candidates, not the parties.

He, therefore, pleaded with the PDP to ensure that a credible candidate emerges in 2016 otherwise they should forget about reclaiming the state from the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Owie spoke at a thanksgiving service to mark his successful elevation to the 3rd grade of knighthood of St. John International, KSJI, at St. Albert’s Catholic Church, University of Benin, UNIBEN, yesterday.

Senator Owie, who stressed that credibility of the PDP aspirants will play a key role during the primaries of the PDP next year, said the people of the state would no longer vote on party lines but on the credibility of the individual so as to give Edo people the best governor.
