The defection of the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has added a huge boost to the party.
This was disclosed by Tony Azegbemi, the Chairman of the PDP in Edo State.
According to him, since Obaseki joined the now ruling party in the State, the PDP membership shot up, and they had to request 100,000 membership cards from the National Headquarters.
He also praised the Governor for not allowing himself to be blackmailed by godfathers, into opening the treasury to share and feed on government funds.
Recall, that Oshiomhole and Obaseki fell apart with the political feud between the former godson and his mentor forcing the latter to resign his membership of the ruling party.
