Mr Obaseki said this in a statement on Sunday, in his reaction toPhilip Shaibu, who had threatened to leave PDP over the party’s lingering crisis in Edo.
“We are all equal stakeholders in the party and an aggregate of the ideas, opinions and contributions of all leaders and members should form the position of the party and not the view of one individual or a select few,” Mr Obaseki said of the Rivers governor. “In Edo, we don’t accept political bullies and overlords and historically, we have demonstrated our capacity to unshackle ourselves and dethrone bullies and highhanded leaders,” he said.“My deputy governor was a former National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students and his comment is representative of the essence of the nation’s youth population, who are inclined to openly speak up and question the status quo,” Governor Obaseki said.
He specifically said that the PDP in Edo has registered over 500,000 new members since the September 2020 governorship election but that “these new members have not been properly integrated into our party after two years”. He said Mr Wike should have taken a cue from the National Chairman of PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, who “responded to my deputy’s remarks, as a conscientious leader who is able to show empathy and consideration”.
