At Last, Obaseki Joins PDP

Embattled Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki has joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He joined the opposition party at its State Secretariat in Benin.

Obaseki confirms the development in a tweet on his official handle.

Obaseki had been disqualified from seeking reelection by the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) on the grounds that he possesses “defective qualifications.”

I have officially joined the @OfficialPDPNig to advance my ambition to seek re-election as Governor of Edo State.

I, as always, remain committed to engendering good governance and sustainable development of our dear state.
