Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to news of Godwin Obaseki’s alleged move to PDP.
Earlier on, Obaseki was disqualified from contesting for a second term on the platform of his own Political Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), which claimed his NYSC Certificate could not be verified.
According to Daily Post, Obaseki picked up his PDP membership card at Ward 4, Oredo local government shortly after his disqualification from the race.
The governor is also alleged to be moving to PDP alongside 18 local government Chairmen and 12 state lawmakers. PDP Governors are also expected to pay Obaseki a visit.
A former member of the House of Representatives also revealed that the opposition party was getting ready to receive the enstranged Governor from the APC.
Following Obaseki’s disqualification and possible move, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted.
On Saturday, Fani-Kayode wished him luck on his journey to the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said: “Glad to hear that Obaseki has joined @OfficialPDPNig with (assuming it is true) all the LGA Chairmen & House of Assembly members in Edo state. He lost round 1 to Oshiomole and I hope that he has better luck in round 2. This is especially so now that we are on the same side!”
