The disagreement between Governor Godwin Obaseki and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, has led to a deepening crisis, resulting in Shaibu aligning with the opposition APC after failing to secure the PDP ticket.

This has caused significant division, with some party members defecting to the APC.
The APC has managed to resolve its internal disputes and solidify its position, while the PDP struggles to maintain unity.
Analysts suggest that the upcoming election could be influenced by voter turnout in various constituencies, particularly in Edo South.
There are concerns that the PDP’s internal issues might affect its chances in the September election, despite its status as the ruling party. Observers recommend that Governor Obaseki address these issues to improve the party’s prospects.
