After his disqualification from the governorship primaries
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, sources have claimed that the Governor
of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has joined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
It was gathered that few minutes after his
disqualification, Gov Obaseki collected his PDP membership card at Ward 4,
Oredo Local Government Area of the state.
Recall that Obaseki had said he would not challenge his
disqualification from the exercise.
It was also gathered that the governor will be moving into
the PDP with all the 18 local government chairmen in Edo State together with 12
lawmakers in the State Assembly.
Further findings revealed that some members of
the PDP were already preparing to receive the governor.
A former House of Representatives candidate, who did not
want her name mentioned, said the governor had no choice than pitch his tent
with the opposition PDP.
According to her, ”If the APC does not know what they have
in the person of Gov Obaseki and they decided to disqualify him, so be it.
“If I were him, I will move quickly to the opposition party,
which is the PDP and we will be very much happy to have him.
”How can one man be deciding for Edo people?” She queried.
However, efforts to confirm the development from the state
Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chris Nehikhare, were futile.
Meanwhile, a former Minister of Communications, Tony Momoh,
had warned that another party may win the forthcoming governorship election in
the state.
