The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has revealed that embattled Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki is set to join the party after resigning his membership of the APC.
Obaseki was disqualified by his party from contesting the gubernatorial primaries set to hold June 22nd. This led to his exit from the party.
Speaking on his possible defection to the opposition party, Chairman of the Edo state chapter of the PDP, Tony Azigbemi said;
“There is nothing like an automatic ticket for anybody; it is like that in any democratic environment, and there is a process as laid down by the constitution of the party and that we will follow.”
“But I can confirm to you that the governor, his deputy, and the entire APC structure in the state will be joining the PDP soon. We have been in touch in the last few days; by tomorrow (today), I will be able to confirm the exact date he will be joining with his team.”
Obaseki fueled rumours of his defection to PDP after he met with the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike on Sunday.
