Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki has vowed never to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He left the APC in 2020 after he was disqualified from seeking the party’s ticket for re-election. He joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where he was reelected for second term.
Obaseki, who spoke in Abuja on Monday against the backdrop of exodus of Governors elected on the platform of the PDP to the APC, insisted he would not join the train. Three PDP Governors, including Dave Umahi (Ebonyi); Ben Ayade (Cross River) and Bello Matawalle (Zamfara) have joined the APC in recent days.
But Obaseki described rumours making the rounds that he intended to return to the APC as laughable. He stated he is committed to serving Edo under the “stable, people-oriented and democratic structure” of the PDP.
The Governor, who is the chairman of PDP’s e-registration exercise, declared his unwavering commitment and strong belief in the PDP as a party that holds the solution to issues of governance deficit facing the nation at the moment.
