June, 8,2020He said, “He is a sitting governor who ought not to be treated that way. If he contested four years ago and was allowed to fly the flag of the party, what has changed between then and now?“For now, we are not against anyone who wants to join us. Our doors are open and if he decides to join us as an individual, we will welcome him. That’s the only thing I can say for now.”

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), CAPITAL POST has learnt.
The Governor who’s disqualification was announced on Friday by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Edo State governorship election screening panel, has been issued with his membership card by the PDP ward 4 Chairman of Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State.
Those moving into opposition party are all the 18 Local Government Chairmen in Edo State together with 12 lawmakers in the State Assembly.
His media Aide, Crusoe Osagie has ruled out appealing the disqualification by the screening panel, describing the screening exercise as mockery of democracy.
We have watched the mockery of democratic process, which Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is administering and superintending over in our great party, the All Progressives Congress.
It has been an unfortunate, disheartening and dreadful spectacle.
“We had initially asserted that going by the open display and enthronement of illegality by one man in the party that comprises several organs and eminent personalities, there is no way that Governor Godwin Obaseki would get a fair assessment in the run up to the nomination of candidates to fly the flag of the party in the forthcoming Edo gubernatorial election.
“It is unfortunate that this open show of shame, illegality and travesty of justice is the brand of democracy which Comrade Oshiomhole has reduced the APC into. The situation is quite saddening because this is a party supposedly reputed for change, equity and social justice.
“We have therefore decided that it would be effort in futility to appeal whatever the unjust outcome of the evaluation and screening process of the APC will be, especially when Comrade Oshiomhole has declared that he is the Supreme Court and ultimate determiner of the fate and future of our great party.
“We wish Oshiomhole luck in his maladministration of the party and trust that the Almighty will help our country to find the path to true liberty, freedom and justice.
“We call on all party members and the teeming supporters of Governor Obaseki to remain calm and await further directives
