Emerging report reveals that the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, is on his way to join the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
A top member of the PDP in Edo State, who is also close to the National Leadership of the party, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that it is a done deal for Obaseki to get the PDP Governorship ticket for the 2020 election, and that the party is only waiting for the All Progressives Congress, APC, to put a final nail on the coffin, before they bring out the joker.
The source said: “The truth is that, as we speak now, there is nobody in Edo PDP that is ready to bring out money to fund the Governorship election in the State. And as an opposition party, for us to give a good fight to the APC, we need somebody with a deep pocket and big name, to wage the ‘war’.”
One of the PDP Women Leaders in Edo North, Alhaja Rufiat Aishatu, said: “As it stands now, we need a Candidate who has both the financial, human, and material resources, to fight the APC. And that is Obaseki.”
