Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said newly re-elected governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki would not be leaving the People’s Democratic Party PDP after winning the State’s election on the party’s platform.
The Chairman of the Party’s Campaign Council for the Edo Election, was speaking in a Channels Television Friday Morning interview.
“It is impossible, but assuming it happens, so what? That is politics. There is nothing wrong if the governor believes that PDP is no longer the party for him to actualise his vision and mission.
“But he has consistently told us that there’s no way he will leave PDP. If he does for example, the people of Edo State will not be happy and he is somebody I have that trust in.
“The party clothed him and when it was raining gave him the umbrella.”
He further stated that “APC is not a political party. It’s people who came together to take power from PDP. That is the crises they are having together.
“It’s a party of strange bedfellows that came together to conspire against the former president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan.”
PDP, he noted has been PDP since 1999 and not made of different parties.
He elected to downplay his role, when asked about it towards the success of the Edo Election. He insisted that he did nothing special, stating that victory was a collective effort, while reserving special praise for the governor’s of Oyo and Delta State respectively.
