All seems to be set for the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki to cross to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The governor was busy on wednesday putting final arrangements in place towards his plans to pursue his re-election bid on the platform of the PDP.
Recall that Obaseki, who resigned his membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, hours before the Court of Appeal affirmed the suspension of the party’s National Chairman, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, held several meetings with his PDP colleagues and the party’s National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus in Abuja.
However, the All Progressive Congress (APC) leaders were also busy in their bid to subdue the lingering crisis rocking the party as an aftermath of Oshiomhole’s suspension as the party’s Deputy National Secretary, Chief Victor Giadom, laid claims to the leadership of the party.
Meanwhile, Giadom was later suspended by the National Working Committee of APC who had late Tuesday picked one of the party’s zonal deputies, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, to hold the fort for the embattled chairman.
To Mr. Giadom, his claim to the party’s chairmanship was anchored on a March order of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court.
Governor Obaseki and his colleagues from the PDP held a virtual conference ahead of his joining the party any time soon.
