Barring any last-minute change, governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress will be holding a meeting with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , over the Edo State APC
governorship primary crisis.
It was gathered that Obaseki’s meetings were part of his consultations before taking his final decision. This was contained in a communiqué issued on Sunday, after an emergency Teleconference meeting on Saturday. Though the reason for the Edo Governor’s visit to Rivers State was not mentioned by anybody, Obaseki’s envisaged move to the PDP might be the motive behind his trip to the Government House in Port Harcourt.
A competent source, who was privy to the meetings, said the discussions were mainly on his plan to join the PDP ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in his state.The faction of the APC in the state loyal to Oshiomhole, on Sunday, called for the expulsion of Obaseki; the chairman of the faction loyal to Obaseki, Anselm Ojezua, and Dr Aisosan Amadasun, for alleged anti-party activities.
