“Our governorship aspirants are young crop of people.
“I can tell you that in Edo 2020 election, PDP will produce a young governorship candidate,” Orbih said.
He called on the electorate to make the right choice in the forthcoming governorship election by choosing a PDP candidate “because of the abysmal failure of the APC-led government in the state”.
