A former Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Edo State and ex executive officer of the party in the South South zone,Prince Francis Omo-Osunde Iyasere on Thursday said, the Edo State governor,Mr Godwin Obaseki,whom he described as a man of integrity will not dump PDP,a party that gave him cover in political storm for the APC
He made this assertion in Benin City,the Edo State capital through a telephone conversation with Wawa Reporters, while reacting to a statement credited to the Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu that he will drag Obaseki back to the APC.
Recall, that the Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu had in fortnight during his second tenure inauguration ceremony in Akure, jokingly said if he Obaseki fails to return back to APC,he will drag him back.
Prince Iyasere queried the sincerity of the Ondostate governor,Mr Rotimi Akeredolu.Asking,where was Akeredolu when Obaseki was being rubbished in APC? Where was him when they said,he had no certificate? Akeredolu was there when they screened him out during the party primary. According to him,if Akeredolu was a good friend he would have resisted the injustice done to Obaseki in APC. He said the governor was fully involved during the PDP South South zonal Congress in Port Harcourt,River State and even had a candidate he sponsored. He also said the only thing that could constitute Ill feeling was the fact the governor has not constituted his cabinet, but said Obaseki should be allowed to run the government and constitute his cabinet after reforming the civil Service,as he promised.
