Obaseki on thank-you-visit to Buhari says it’ll be immoral to return to APC
BY PAUL SILAS
Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Friday paid a thank-you-visit to President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Obaseki, accompanied by his deputy, Philip Shuaibu and their spouses as well as some members of the Edo State legislature told State House correspondents at the end of the meeting that it would be immoral for him to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor had been denied the APC ticket to run for a second term, forcing him to resign his membership of the party and consequently joining the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on whose platform he won the September 19, 2020 election.
READ: Finally, Obaseki dumps APC
He defeated his closest rival, Osagie Ize-Iyamu of President Buhari’s APC and others to win the governorship election in his state.
He had dumped the APC for the PDP when the ruling party disqualified him from participating in its primary election.
There have been concerns that having won the election on the platform of the PDP, he might return to the APC.
But the governor appears to have spoken unequivocally saying it would be immoral to do so.
