The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it does not have
record of the defection of Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo state.
Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC spokesman, said this on Tuesday after
he was asked to comment on the defection of the governor.
Issa-Onilu said the party could not comment “at this moment”
on reports that Obaseki had defected.
“The party has no record of the reported defection of
Governor Godwin Obaseki from the Progressive party,” he said.
“We cannot comment at this moment on media reports
suggesting the Edo governor or anyone else has left our great party.”
Obaseki had announced his resignation from the party while
speaking with reporters at the presidential villa after a meeting with Ibrahim
Gambari, chief of staff to the president.
The governor said he would pursue his second term bid on
another platform.
In a tweet, Obaseki said he would continue to protect the
interest of Edo people and “sustain good governance in the state.”
“I have officially resigned my membership of the All
Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg) after meeting with the CoS to @MBuhari,”
he tweeted.
“We shall continue the battle to protect the interest of Edo
people and sustain good governance in the state.”
