Leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), are reportedly set to meet today, Thursday, June 18 to decide Governor Obaseki’s fate.
This is following Obaseki’s resignation from the APC, after the ruling party disqualified him from participating in its governorship primary.
The embattled Edo state governor has allegedly reached out to the PDP national chairman Uche Secondus and Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state who is the PDP governors’ forum chairman in a bid to get the party’s governorship ticket.
It’s been said that PDP will explore meeting how it can give Obaseki the Governor ticket without causing another crisis in the party.
Meanwhile, the suspended chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomole has vowed that the ruling party will go to court due to the discrepancies in Obaseki’s certificate should PDP field in the governor as its flagbearer in the forthcoming election.
“Fortunate enough, it was the PDP that exposed him in 2016. PDP filed a case at the Federal High Court amplifying every forgery segments in his certificate. APC just managed to escape that because PDP filed out of time and the case was struck out.
“Now, the case has life, so, when they field him, we will be at the court to adopt what PDP filed before the court against him with additional evidence we now have against him. So, we can’t wait to have PDP field him as their candidate,” Oshiomhole said.
Edo State governorship saga continues with APC being at warpath with Obaseki over what many political analysts term as fall of interest.
