The National
Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, stated this while
reacting to Obaseki’s defection on Friday.
The ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC) said the defection of the embattled Edo
Governor Godwin Obaseki to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was not news to
them.
He said: “It
has not come to us as a surprise. We knew he had defected long ago because he
resigned his membership of the party which we have accepted.
“So you can’t
defect twice. So if he is defecting again, we don’t know whether what he has
just done now is news any longer.”
Obaseki
resigned from the APC after it’s screening committee disqualified him from the
June 22 governorship primary.
The NWC last
Saturday affirmed his disqualification by the screening and appeal committees
inaugurated by his political adversary Adams Oshiohmole.
