Former Govs Support, Purchase Governorship Nomination Form for Onaiwu

Edo Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Earl Osaro Onaiwu seems to have garnered significant support from former governors in Nigeria, who have gone as far as purchasing the Governorship nomination form for him.
This act of solidarity is being seen as a strong show of support for Onaiwu’s candidacy in the upcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State.

Already, many analysts are projecting Onaiwu to be the surprised consensus candidate in the race for who takes over from incumbent governor Godwin Obaseki.

Onaiwu, being the former Director General of the PDP Governors Forum, is considered a prominent and experienced political figure who many see as a candidate who can revitalize the Edo PDP, given his track record of non-controversial participation in party affairs and his commitment to an open and accountable government.

During his tenure as the founding Director General of the PDP Governors Forum, Onaiwu played a key role in attracting multi-lateral development agencies and ambassadors to collaborate with PDP governors for the development of Nigeria.
The former governors are supporting him based on the positive impact he had in that role and the potential benefits he could bring to Edo State.

Onaiwu has outlined his vision for an open and accountable government that prioritizes the welfare of the people.
According to his campaign team, If elected, he aims to focus on the prosperity of the people and bring his experience and extensive network to bear on the economic development of Edo State.

With Aminu Shehu of Katsina state and Kayode Olusegun of Ondo state coordinating the purchase on behalf of the former governors, the unexpected and united support from former governors has created a stir in political circles, and it will be interesting to see how this backing influences the party primaries and the overall trajectory of Onaiwu’s candidacy in the gubernatorial race.

Already, the former governors and party stakeholders have signified their intention to work for the success of Onaiwu at the polls.
