disqualified from contesting the governorship primary of the All Progressives CongressIn a telephone interview on Monday, Aziegbemi said Governor Obaseki would have to go through the laid down rules o
f the party when he eventually defects.
He said, “There is nothing like an automatic ticket for anybody; it is like that in any democratic environment, and there is a process as laid down by the constitution of the party and that we will follow. “But I can confirm to you that the governor, his deputy, and the entire APC structure in the state will be joining the PDP soon. We have been in touch in the last few days; by tomorrow , I will be able to confirm the exact date he will be joining with his team.”
However, one of the PDP aspirants in the forthcoming primary, Mr Ken Imasuagbon, said he would resist any attempt to hand over the party’s ticket to Obaseki ahead of the state governorship elections.All rights reserved.
