Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, have welcomed Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a tweet on Friday, Atiku said he was confident the people of Edo would be better off with the governor now a PDP member.
“Congratulations, @GovernorObaseki on joining our party, @OfficialPDPNig — the truly people’s party. I am confident that the people of Edo State will be the better for it,” Atiku wrote.
“You are indeed coming aboard a repositioned PDP that promotes good governance for the benefit of Nigerians.”
Wike, who had on June 14 hosted Obaseki in Port Harcourt, simply wrote on Twitter: “Welcome to the @OfficialPDPNig.”
Obaseki joined the PDP on Friday after dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC) three days earlier.
