Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could not hide their excitement over the defection of the Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the main opposition party.
The PDP governors are particularly excited that Obaseki’s entry into the party has increased the number of states controlled by the PDP from 15 to 16.
Similarly, the governors, particularly those from the South-South, are also happy that with Obaseki’s defection, the PDP is now in control of the entire six states in that geopolitical zone.
In a statement on Friday by the Director-General of the PDP Governors Forum, Cyril Maduabum, the governor described Obaseki’s entry into PDP as a homecoming to a democratic platform.
The Forum added that the PDP accommodates all Nigerians desirous of good governance, accountability and deepening of democratic tenets.
