Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki has fulfilled one of the conditions from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP before he can be allowed to join the party, and possibly fly its flag for the September governorship election in the state.
The leadership of the opposition party had demanded that he officially dump the APC before he can be a member of the party
Governor Obaseki, few minutes ago, met this condition after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock, Nigeria’s seat of power.
One of his aides told the magazine few minutes ago that “the governor met with the president as the leader of the APC and Nigeria to intimate him with his decision to leave the party that has treated him like a leper.”
He said the governor met with the president out of “his love and respect” for him.
He told journalists after the meeting, that barely lasted an hour that he has resigned as a member of the APC.
Recall that the Edo helmsman has been embattled with the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole which eventually led to his disqualification as an aspirant in the party.
The governor, had as soon as he was disqualified by the APC Screening committee picked up, the PDP membership card at his ward in Edo state.
He also met with Governors Nyesom Wike and Udom Emmauneul of Rivers and Akwa Ibom states, respectively to enlist their support in his quest to join the PDP and keep his governorship ambition alive.
The magazine was told, that the leadership of the PDP gave him the condition to resign from the APC in order to become a full member of the PDP.
