BREAKING: Crisis hits PDP as Wike dumps Obaseki, gives reasons

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who was instrumental in convincing Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, to join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP from the All Progressives Congress, APC has announced his decision to pull out of ‘everything concerning’ Edo state elections.

He revealed this in a statement on Tuesday that he will no longer be part of efforts to help Obaseki secure the gubernatorial ticket of the PDP. He explained that he made the decision because of what he described as a ‘Senseless’ accusation against him published in Thisday newspaper.

The report, on Tuesday, alleged a connection between Wike and moves to use a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt to stop Mr Obaseki from participating in the Edo PDP primary.

The report said Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, the Edo PDP governorship aspirant who filed the court case, is an ally of Wike. “As a result of this senseless accusation, I have pulled out of Edo State settlement,” Mr wike disclosed in a statement signed by his media aide, Paulinus Nsirim.

“The Governors of Edo, Adamawa, and Delta states, know what I have done to resolve the issues in Edo State,”

“I am brought up not to accept injustice, and that is why I keep speaking out on national issues. Nobody in PDP can intimidate Rivers State. Nobody can threaten me because I said things must be done constitutionally. I will always continue to satisfy my conscience.” he stated.
