Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has shared his thoughts on the disqualification of Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, from contesting in the All Progressives Congress’ primaries slated for June 22.
In a tweet on Monday, Wike, who played host to Obaseki on Sunday in Port Harcourt, mocked the APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, whom he did not mention by name but referred to with the certificate saga which sprang up days leading to Obaseki’s disqualification.
“Obaseki was disqualified by someone who doesn’t have a certificate, what an irony!” Wike tweeted.
Oshiomhole, the immediate past governor of Edo, and Obaseki have been drawn in a long and feisty battle over the control of the state.
Obaseki, who is seeking a second term in office, was on June 12 disqualified from partaking in the party’s primary over discrepancies in names on his certificates and for dragging the party to court which was in violation of party rules.
Following his unwillingness to appeal his disqualification, Obaseki says he will make his next move public after consulting with his supporters and meeting President Muhammadu Buhari.
