The ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) said the defection of the embattled Edo Governor
Godwin Obaseki to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was not news to them.
The National
Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, stated this while
reacting to Obaseki’s defection on Friday.
He said: “It has not
come to us as a surprise. We knew he had defected long ago because he resigned
his membership of the party which we have accepted.
“So you can’t defect
twice. So if he is defecting again, we don’t know whether what he has just done
now is news any longer.
”
Obaseki resigned
from the APC after it’s screening committee disqualified him from the June 22
governorship primary.
The NWC last
Saturday affirmed his disqualification by the screening and appeal committees
inaugurated by his political adversary Adams Oshiohmole.
