Obaseki endorsed for a second term bid

I think you meant to say "Obaseki endorsed for second term bid".

Yes, that's correct. Godwin Obaseki, the Governor of Edo State, Nigeria, has been endorsed by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, for a second term bid. This endorsement comes after Obaseki's re-election bid was initially rejected by the APC's National Working Committee (NWC) due to a disagreement over the primary election process.

However, the APC's National Executive Committee (NEC) later intervened and resolved the crisis, paving the way for Obaseki's endorsement. The endorsement is seen as a significant boost to Obaseki's re-election bid, as it gives him the backing of the APC's national leadership.

It's worth noting that Obaseki's re-election bid has been marked by controversy, with some party members and stakeholders expressing concerns over his leadership style and the party's internal politics. Despite these challenges, Obaseki remains a strong contender for the APC's gubernatorial ticket in Edo State.
