What options for Obaseki? - Will he take his case to the National Leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, who could not successfully intervene in the Rivers, Ogun, Zamfara and Imo imbroglio? GovernorObaseki OfficialAPCNg MBuhari
Predictably, he faces a perilous future. The predicament cannot be speedily and easily ameliorated. Will he survive his current ordeals or accept his fate and proceed to political oblivion?
The party owns the ticket and it is within its purview to determine the fitness of its standard bearer. The final signal is that the party is supreme. The embattled governor had anticipated the looming disaster. But he lacked the skill and impetus to avert it. In despair, he had raised issues over the panel’s lack of neutrality, saying that he could not hope for justice.His fate may now be similar to those of Mallam Kachalla in Borno, Obong Clement Isong in Cross River, Senator Rashidi Ladoja in Oyo and Akinwunmi Ambode in Lagos whose hopes for re-election were dashed.
But Obaseki is perceived as a fighter, or he has posed as a formidable fighter. Therefore, the disqualification may not be the end of the matter. Yet, it is curious that the governor has decided to shun the Appeal Committee, which seemed to offer a ray of hope. He said he will not take his case to the higher panel despite its power to set aside the report of the screening committee and order a review.
