Obaseki To Wike – PDP Does Not Belong To You

Edo State Governor, South South, Nigeria Godwin Obaseki has taken a swipe at his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike, saying the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, doesn’t belong to him.

Gatekeepers News reports that Obaseki In an advertorial accused Wike of unguarded and disruptive tendencies, urging party leaders to call him to order.

Earlier, Wike had while speaking at the inauguration of the Eastern Bypass Road in Port Harcourt lambasted Edo State, Deputy Governor, Philips Shaibu asking who’s his father?

Wike also reminded Shaibu of how he was running ‘helter-skelter’ to beg for the PDP ticket during the Edo 2021 gubernatorial elections.

Obaseki while responding said he will not accept political bullies and overlords, reminding Wike how he had dethroned bullies and high handed leaders.

Obaseki said Wike shoukd have taken a cue from the way the national chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, responded to Shaibu’s remarks.

He collaborated Shaibu’s complaint that “the leaders, executives and members” who defected along with him from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have not been accepted, integrated and harmonised into the Edo PDP.

He lamented that the defectors were being vilified and ostracised by a cabal led by Chief Dan Orbih.

Obaseki wondered why Wike is always fond of threatening the party and party leaders.

He said while nobody is against Wike’s desire to run for President, he shoukd not pursue his ambition in a disruptive manner.

Obaseki said: “While Wike is free to use his resources as he deems fit in pursuit of his ambition, he should not attempt to cow, intimidate, cajole and threaten others into doing his bidding. Edo State cannot and will not be procured for anyone’s personal ambition.”
