I consulted leaders across the state; I got in touch with the speaker, state House of Assembly and other members to ensure I got the form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wrote letters through my lawyer to the state chairman, went to his house and begged him to let me know the reason my name was changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen information came that they would present the certificates, I went there hoping that this would have been resolved for the fact that I have consulted a lot of people before, but I discovered the name has been changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey replaced my name with a guy that never contested the primaries. I was in Obaseki\u2019s camp; he was not part of the process. He did not contest the primaries with us but with another faction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, he was given the certificate to replace my candidature. I asked for the reason, but nobody was ready to explain to me. I contested the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/07\/28\/gov-masari-appeals-to-apc-flag-bearers-to-embrace-primary-elections-losers\/\">primary election<\/a><\/strong> and won.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have my result sheet, I have video clips, I have every document to prove that I was the authentic candidate produced at the primaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleading and appealing to the state chairman because I know him to be a good man, he has been piloting the affairs of the party in the state in a way we all appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe should not allow himself to be used, because it will be unfair for a man like me that have fought for the party to be deprived of my right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Uadiale said that he might be forced to seek legal action ahould the party fail to do the needful.<\/p>\n<p>When contacted, the state party chairman, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, said the certificates of return given out did not emanate from him but was given to him to present.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEdo PDP does not print certificates of return. It was given to me and what was given to me was what I gave out,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Edo chapter of the PDP are enmeshed in legal battle over whose faction of the party the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should recognise their candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The party members in the state are polarised between Gov. Godwin Obaseki and the South South Vice chairman, Mr Dan Orbih.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Moses Uadiale, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Esan North East Constituency I in Edo House of Assembly, has protested the substitution of his name.
