The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the party’s door is opened to Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and others willing to join the party.

Governor Obaseki of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been having a running battle with the party’s national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, leading to insinuations that he (Obaseki) might dump the ruling party before the upcoming governorship election in the state and run as the PDP’s candidate. Reacting to this on Monday, PDP’s zonal vice-chairman (South South), Chief Emmanuel Ogidi, said the governor is not a member of the PDP but the doors of the party are open to anybody who intends to defect to the party provided the defector abides by the laws of the party.

He said this in Benin shortly after a meeting with Dr. Tony Aziegbemi-led state executive council. “If Governor Obaseki comes, we will take him. “We can’t drive anybody from entering. “Our doors are wide opened. “I am not, however, aware that he has started negotiations with us with a view to defecting. “If the governor has seen the light and wants to come to the PDP, he is welcome,” he said.

The PDP leader said the party has a procedure, adding that: “There is going to be primary. The PDP does not award. “If you win the primary, you become the candidate.

After then, we go for primary and whoever wins is the party’s candidate.”

Ogidi, who assured of a level playing field for all aspirants, said the party has no anointed aspirant for the September election. On his part, the state PDP chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, said all that the opposition need is unity as the reality on the ground favours a change in the state. He added that the performance of the APC in the last 11 years since it took over the reins of power in the state necessitated the change.

The party would be watching his body Language

You cannot stand with the devil and fight the devil in the same house. You better stand out and fight to succed.

Open door plus window

Lies

No media propaganda can chase Obaseki out of APC

E be like say PDP never get candidate for the election yet. Imagine the almighty PDP begging for candidate at the 11th hour

Lol. Ize Iyamu was PDP candidate in the last election while Obaseki was APC candidate.

Now Obaseki want to be PDP candidate while Ize Iyamu becomes APC.

No policy. No philosophy. Typical of Nigerian politician.

Anybody dying for any politician is a capital F.O.O.L

Obaseki won't secure APC ticket, he will also lose as PDP candidate. But ipob terrorists will say na lie i dey lie.. September is almost here

We don't need him in PDP let him fight and slug it out in APC.

At least zamfara and rivers senerio will repeat itself thereby giving pdp victory.
