Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has formally announced his membership of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This comes after days of speculation and consultations following his disqualification from contesting for a second term as Governor on the platform of his former party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Despite the fact that some Youths from the state bought an expression of interest form for him on the platform of the African Development Congress (ADC), Governor Obaseki announced his membership of the PDP via a statement on Twitter, Friday afternoon.
“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.” Obaseki tweeted.
